Hi all,

Is there a (ideally free) util that would work like Ghost to allow me
to clone one drive onto another from a Live CD of some sort please?

Or if I would have to install it, something that would run under
Ubuntu (8.1)?

Cheers, T i m

Depending on the drive make, some manufacturers offer a bootable CD ISO
that does exactly that. Seagate do for one.

Ah, ok, the new drive is a Hitachi and the old a Maxtor (not sure that
helps does it)? :-(

Cheers, T i m

Yes, it helps you!

Maxtor and Seagate are now the same company. The utility they provide to
do what you need is called Disk Wizard; as long as you have at least one
drive of either make in the machine, it will work very well indeed.

It is a cut-down version of software provided by Acronis.
