Thus far, I have only a first attempt completed with
Acronis TI Home v. 10, which I've described in a
thread on the DFSEE forum. Actually, I did better
than I had expected. Post Migration, the FAT-16
partitions were all affected by the familiar
Windows-style Extended Container (0xf0 ?) issue; the
HPFS partitions all required LVM info repair, and
maybe another tweak or two I'm forgetting. Jan's
instructions for doing these with DFSEE made pretty
short work of it. The W2K "maintenance" boot
partition *may* still have some issues to smooth over.

(I have a bad feeling about what might have happened
to any JFS partitions, which so far I have never had
on any computer.)

Given the complexity of the overall task, that any
program could succeed to this degree on one pass
impresses me. Of course, I'm not home free yet with
this migration attempt, and "there's many a slip,
twixt the cup and the lip." (Especially after you've
been hitting the Vino for awhile -- right Peter ?) We
shall see.
