   I want to take virtual image of my # 1 computer and put it on a 2nd computer I recently got. so If I install this Paragon Drive Copy 9.5 [ DC9 ], and install vmplayer, or sun's virtual box on the 2nd computer, and have the image on a external harddrive hooked to # 2 after making the image on #1, will vmplayer or virtual box mount this image on 2nd computer which doesnt have the dc?
   I just want to know if I have all the software needed with DC9, and one of the above.
   this way if this works, I dont have to change anything on 2nd computer, I can just use the image of #1, which has all the programs etc already.

   heck, I'm wondering what (unspecified) 3rd party software it takes to adjust the copy so it'll boot off a drive with a different drive geometry. (different make, model, or size is all it takes to cause real trouble!)

   hey goodgotd, it shouldnt matter about the HD, otherise use would be very limited.
   I am going to try it with vmplayer I guess. right now trying to clear enough room on a ext Hd for the image.

   I got a 500 gig SATA drive on a card that should be bootable- and I tried for a week with several programs to migrate, and failed. I got the 'different geometry' explanation from one of the techs I bitched at.
