Re: Seeking solutions for partition copy problems

   Willi,

       For the copying, have you tried Utility Works GS?  I think it
would do the copying that you are looking for, not sure though.  It's
been some time since I've used that program.

  I think I remember seeing something in my software collection that
would compare directories.  I will do some digging...
