I have been trying to capture a clone of the 40G, XP, NTFS drive in my
LT. I booted XP and ran the DFSEE clone function to copy the NTFS to
a USB HDD. It took what seemed a reasonable time; one hour, two
hours, I wasn't paying that much attention. I don't trust clones of a
running OS to copy properly so I deleted the USB space, booted DOS,
and used the same DFSEE clone function. It took all day.

However, using DOS to copy files from DT to LT and back seemed to
proceed normally.
