Well, in this case I was taking a system with 3 drives, and copying it to a
new system with a single drive split into 3 partitions.  That was so all the
links between drives didn't break.  Yesterday these were 3 drives, and there
are still 3 today.  No go with True Image, regardless if I ran it off a boot
CD, Linux, Windows or a TI-99/4A.  Ghost worked.  (Hmmm, looks similar to
what I wrote last time.)

I've also had the occasional problem where True Image didn't want to copy
the second partition off a drive.

Partitioning isn't all that common these days, except for Dell, HP etc
hiding XP recovery disks there.
