Ghosting a HD

[CapDave]

Hey, My buddy put everything on my new system on a single
partition and I now want to split it up to aid backup/future troubleshooting. I want to ghost 2.2GB of data to a partition on another pc, re-partition my 40GB, and then return the original OS, etc. to a (now) smaller boot partition. Using Ghost 7.0.
My main question is when my data is returned to the smaller boot partition, will any boot information be screwed up because the boot partition is now different.
Thanks!

You mean the 2.2GB includes your operating system?

If you ghost the whole partition & then ghost it back to smaller partition, it should be ok (assuming new partition is partition 1). If you have problems booting after restore, run recovery console & fixboot - that should sort it.

Presume not using ntfs filestore - don't think ghost 7.0 supports moving ntfs partitions.
