Yes, but you're not tackling a job anywhere near as
complex as the one I'm looking at (many partitions,
multiple OSes), nor are you working with the same
partition types. The last time I checked -- and that
was probably around ver. 7.05 -- DFSEE was quite
restricted re making changes involving NTFS
partitions, such as resizing or moving them.
Partition Magic has no such blind spots, although you
DO need to use the more recent PM versions, because
the NTFS spec changed a few times and you can easily
hit a compatibility land mine if you don't.
The non-eCS partitions are likely to come out just
fine, if past results are any guide; it's our HPFS -
LVM ones I'm concerned about. Sandy's reply gives me
some encouragement, though.
Don't get me wrong -- I like DFSEE a lot. It handles
some things *for us* that PM dropped out of a long
time ago, or never offered. That said, it has a long
way to go before it can challenge PM in ease of use.
(Assuming Jan ever wanted it to, and maybe that's not
among his goals.)
I need to post a few questions in his E-Groups forum.
For example, why do the same-drive-model clones I've
made to date FAIL his Compare test, yet each time the
clone drive appears to be an exact and functional
duplicate, with everything working as expected ?
