THERE MUST BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE ABOVE BY AN OLD DOS USER
Clone Mirror Image of 200G Samsung HP SATA HDD to:

Server has hardware to drive 4 IDE and 1 SATA Drive(s) 5 Bays Available
Note: I also have a new stand alone pci IDE Controller (reactive I/O Ultra ATA IDE Controller Card if needed)
HELP PLEASE !
P.S. Anyone familiar with "The Geek Squad" at Best buy and IF they can do this for me and What the cost might be...
I took this to my Chinese dude who said $45 to do the above; but also said that he can not always suceed in making a Clone or Mirror and
if it doesn't "work"--I still pay them $45???!!!
