I think Ghost lets you copy to different kinds of hard drives (with
different geometry), not just exact duplicate drives. I hope I hear about
it if I'm wrong. In any case, it has already been said that Ghost is a
DOS program and so should work with JAWS only as well as DOS does, which
is a matter of opinion but generally held to be suboptimal. <g>
To keep this on topic, I would ask that anyone who successfully uses JAWS
with any package which allows exact images of hard drives to be saved in
files and also copied live from one hd to another, even while changing it
to match a new size and geometry, please contact me by email. I have need
of such a program. I think Ghost would do it, but I haven't really proven
my memory accurate yet. If anyone knows of such a package which is NOT
JAWS-accessible but is accessible using a DOS screen reader, I'd
appreciate hearing about that also, but I suppose off list.
