I have several workstations that due to software compatibility issues are required to be dual boot. Win 98 and Win2K. I have the machines configured with 98 on the C (FAT32) Partition and 2000 on the D(NTFS) partition. Win 98 was purposfully configured to be without network capability. The machines are great

and we've had no problems with them except ---

When we went to pull an image from them Imagecast craps out. 8) The only way I was able to duplicate the drives configuration was to use a hardware IWILL RAID card to mirror the drive and then run newsid/rename etc. I'd love to be able to blast an image because as it is right now whenever I need to rebuild one of these machines, I have to take my home server down

to use the RAID card.

Have you tried enabling sector by sector copying of the physical drive. I know this works well with ghost, though with ghost it craps out with a triple boot system.

I'll give that a shot. I think I did try it before but have since reloaded the server.

After several attempts, I have to admit this is beyond me. The sector by sector dies at 42%.

The only way I've been able to replicate this disk image is using a hardware RAID to mirror the disk and then run newsid.exe.
