Great utility, sad case

I recently upgraded the hard drive on my Wife's XP-Professional notebook (needs it for work. Sigh). Not wanting to do the whole backup/install/activate/yikes, what's gone wrong now deal, i started to look around for free alternatives to Ghost. I encountered (among others) both g4l and g4u. Looking over the history, I avoided g4l and used g4u. Worked like a dream, backing up the entire NTFS partition to a new hard-drive temporarily housed in an external USB case (twenty bucks, btw, and worth every cent for the convenience). Easy, easy, easy. g4u does not have an ntfs partition resizer, but ntfs does. If I were to do it again, I might try doing the whole thing with ntfstools (I understand it can now reliably copy a partition), but g4u definitely rocks. An all-thumbs up from this clumsy geek. |
