subject: Re: Go from NT to Win2k and increase partition size?

From: Randall Parker 

Geo,

I have 1.73 Gigs used on the C: drive. How many CDs would that take? 3? For some
reason I was expecting CDs to be too small for the job. But maybe not.

DriveImage: It uses .NET and they do /not/ list NT as a supported OS. See
here:
http://www.pcplus.co.uk/reviews/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=19356&subsec
tionid=373&subsubsectionid=65

Worse yet, they do not appear to sell DriveImage any more. PowerQuest was bought by
Symantec and now the link to DriveImage 7 resolves to a Ghost page. Check out here:
    http://www.powerquest.com/

Norton Ghost doesn't list NT as supported either:
    http://www.powerquest.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/

Partition Magic does list NT as supported:
    http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/

So do I have any other choices besides PartitionMagic?
