Thanks, Richard.  I let it go for 5 hours and stopped it.  After stopping it, the original drive was messed up!

Why?  Possibilities:
-I was making a mirror image of a brand new Windows 2000 install with the NTFS file system.
-I did not mount the file systems (I did not think I needed to).
-They are DMA-100 IDE drives on a 1.6GHZ computer.  Maybe LNX-BBC cannot handle this hardware.

Anyway, I am attempted to re-build from square one my original master drive.  Not a successful experiment and I don't have time to try again.  Maybe another day.

PS I am helping setup some Windows 2000 workstations for a friend of mine.  It pays so I can use Windows when there is money involved!

I have done this with 9GB SCSI drives with no issues,  for 9GB drives it takes about 30-45Min.
