With Ghost, you can make a boot floppy, that will run in "DOS",
and just moves the data sector by sector.  Doesn't even need NT booted to
do it. Same with Drive Image, running from a floppy boot.  I've even used
Ghost on a PC to clone a MAC Hard drive that had OSX installed on it, and
it worked just fine.
