agony with Shadow protect

tried to restore a 80GB hard drive image (10G used space)  to a 40gb hard drive,

no luck, ghost can do drive shrinking ages ago.

munter

however another thing is with limited success...

pull the hard drive from a dead pc,

put in the target pc, boot from shadow protect cd, image it to a usb drive,

then restore it using hir (hardware independent restore ...)
