from what i've used, yes.

it (for me) doesn't "size" anything.... just creates an image of whats on
the hdd, then when u copy the image onto the other drive, it only copies the
image on, no matter how big it is.

at work, for windows, we use ghost to install our 'windows preinstall' onto.

the image fits onto a cd (which we modify to make bootable), and run ghost
automatically.

we use these preinstall cd's for all computers that need windows (makes it
much easier).

it only copies the image, not how big the drive is.

MAYBE, there are different versions/options which copy a "partition" ??
