Need Free version of Ghost

I need a legal, free version of Ghost, or something similar. Can anyone provide a link?

I need to copy an entire hard drive (on which an OS resides), as installed and loaded to another drive, and am looking for as fast and painless a process as possible.

Thanks

It might be there.

If you can't find a copy of ghost, there are a few alternatives.

If you are working on something windows based you can try the xcopy command with the /s and /e switches enabled.

xcopy c /s /e d will clone everything on the C drive over to the D drive

You can also try using the Ultimate Boot CD http//www.ultimatebootcd.com/[]http//www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and there are a few disc cloning utilities built in to it.

Thanks for the help. If I were to use the xcopy command, would I be able to boot from D, assuming D was the drive to which everything was copied from C, the former boot drive?

Basically, a co-worker ran out of space on their OS drive, and rather than reinstall the OS, I'd prefer to simply Ghost the C drive to the D drive. Moreover, the solution is not as simple as moving pictures and documents from C to D, because, the majority of the space constraints are caused by programs on C, not documents, photos or music.

If memory is serving me correctly, and i'm fairly sure it is, that should copy everything over for you.

If you want to take it a level further, and still stay on the easy side, check the manufacturer of the new hard drive's website. Most companies (WD, Seagate, etc) provide utilities for setting up and troubleshooting issues with hard drives. They also include utilities that do exactly what you are asking. Mirror right over and it provides a happy GUI to make it even easier. Only downside is you either have to burn an ISO or use floppies.
