Well, I guess you've stated it well..."do you want to use an open source
solution or a black box".

I'm already using a black box.  On this system Linux is sharing the disk
with a WinXP NTFS partition.  I'm not confident of any Linux tools that
can handle the NTFS stuff.  The Partition Magic DriveCopy package will
though and I can move the Linux stuff over manually if DriveCopy doesn't
work.
