Thanks all, maybe my english is not so good, and so I probably make a little
confusion.
I'm a "little&tender" (Microsoft) technician, and when I need to make a disk
image I simply install in the machine a second hard drive, make the bios
(without start Windows, for example inserting an empty floppy or a boot
floppy) recognize that HD, than use a DOS boot floppy disk with inside a
program like "Ghost" which work alone without affecting the OS.
Ghost simply take everything it finds on the source HD (or also you can
choose a single NTFS/FAT/FAT32 partition from the source drive) and make a
..GHO compressed image file on the destination HD. You could use that image
file to recreate a cloned PC on another disk (Windows, especially 2K or XP,
doesn't care about the dimension of the new drive, and is affected only if
you change the controller system, for example it will not works if you start
from an IDE source drive and put the result of the decompressed image on a
SCSI drive).
I thought that there was something similar which could be used with SCO
partitions (I really don't know what kind of partition that system uses).
Something which work from a boot disk, with the SCO OS totally inactive. In
that mode, I'lle be sure to not touch the OS, becouse the *only* things I
know about it are how to insert the root account and the command "Init 0" to
turn off machine :-(

Nothing similar?

Thanks :-)
