I have a HD for one machine at work. And I have a the same exact machine running beside it. Well the second machines HD went bad. So I gotta get it up and running ASAP. So I thought I would just clone the first machines drive. But everthing I try does not work.

Always boot failing on me. I tried just a strait copy. I took both drives out of both machines and hooked them to a diffrent computer and copied the files. These machines run off old dos. Its like 32mb on the hard drive. And it wouldnt boot. And then I tried seagate disk wizard copy files. I was going to try the setup net drive part of disk wizard but it kept tring to clone my C: to it. And this was not the C: drive I wanted cloned.

Any advise on how to get this drive cloned. I always thought you could just copy and paste the files with dos.
