Somebody on the ps2ownz hdd forums posted that they were able to clone a hdd using ghost.
nuxator posted:
"yes i just did a clone
but both hdd must be of the same size or near i get one ibm 117.8 and one maxtor 117.2 ibm->maxtor ghost said failure but the maxtor work fine so end of the hdd is not important.
Just type ghost -ir
ir is for byte to byte mode."
