Hey there Alby,


I am not sure the situation that you've mentioned is called ghosting.
If you google-up "cloning a hard drive" you may have better results.

My buddy was in the same boat a few months back, he played around with 3 softwares before deciding which one to use.

-Clonezilla
-Acronis
-Data Rescue 3

And if I remember correctly, it's a very lengthy process and he had to buy a eSATA cable for the job as well.

Search up the softwares I had mentioned, since they'll provide some solid instructions on what to do.
