Norton Ghost

Anyone familiar with ghost?

I want to copy a drive onto a new external, but i dont need to copy the entire size of the drive only the used space is necessary; after all why hog up the new drive with a copy of unused space! Right!! I cant seem to get Norton ghost to do what i want. Any help greatly appreciated.

P.S. the name of a free online utility that'll do it better than ghost would be good too..

A copy of unused space is just that - unused space. It can be used for whatever, it's not locked unusable.
