If I were to use Norton Ghost to make a copy of a 40G Hdd to another 40G Hdd, would this allow me to swap hard drives, without any complications?

I.E., will it copy registry, etc. so OS doesnt notice the change?

Yes. It would be an identical copy.

You don't even need to use ghost for that. Maxblast and Datalifetools have a copy option when you format a new drive.:D

Ghost will copy EVERYTHING and is fast.

We use it at work all the time, we have a ghosted image of all the machines and if a drive fails, load the image onto a new HDD and hey presto, up and running again in 5 mins.

ghost was the first program i turned to to move a complete image of my old hd to my new one, but once i got to imaging, it told me i needed a license key to restore (which i couldnt find) :(

Ok so if i take a copy off my hdd and save it to cd, then if anything happens to my data like i trash it for some reason and i can't recover it can i load the saved cd copy on to the machine to restore it . Even all my 3 partitions?

If you Ghost Local > Drive > To Image on another physical drive, you will be able to restore all partitions as they were. Neat.
