WIN $ 50 - CHALLENGE TO TECHIES

Respected computer techies and dear friends,

I am confronted with a baffling problem and it appears that only a computer guru can solve it with his knowledge, expereience and skills.

Here goes the problem:

I have one SATA seagate HDD 160 GB having three partitions C; D and E.

Basically this HDD has ONLY SAP installed on it...an ERP package which uses Oracle database.

Out of 160 GB HDD space; only 60 GB is being used by SAP program.

I WANT TO CREATE DRIVE IMAGE OR AN EXACT COPY OF THE ABOVE IN ANOTHER HARD DISK of 80 GB.

I know that I can crearte drive image with 160 GB of another HDD.

BUT my q is that is there any way in which i can create an exact copy of SAP system which has occupied 60 GB out of 160 GB ON
ANOTHER HDD of 80 GB....?????????????????????????????

I know this is a very complicated question but then i would love to hear the opinion of the techies; geeks and nerds...

ALSO the person whose solution will be finally accepted will be rewarded with a $ 25 transfer from my paypal account to his account. This is just a token of appreciation and respect for his skills and knowledge. In case someone comes with an exceptionally brilliant idea the reward will be enhanced to $ 50.

Awaiting gurus to come forward and test their brains and help me resolve my problem as well.

Regards

sho-dan is spot on, as usual. Ghost 9.0 is exactly what I'd recommend. Perform functions similar to this on a nearly a daily basis in work. Ghost'll do exactly what you need. It doesn't care whats on the 60gb partition, it'll treat it like a physical disc and copy your data wherever you specify.

Now, does anyone know where I can get some readymix to pour on the base for my new patio???????

hehe we have the best memebers on the net! They help just because they like seeing other people happy. Now you can save the 50 bucks to go buy Ghost.

[hypnotizeminds]

Ha! That'll be the day when CTH starts accepting money (or even worse, charging!) for tech support. To echo bAdWaYz, save your money and go buy Norton Ghost, just don't forget to say thanks to those who've helped you today. :D
