Ghosting/cloning usually assumes you'll be applying the image to the same computer (backup only) or one with a nearly identical configuration (updating a large computer lab). With two entirely different computers you can ghost the hard drive, but Windows (assuming that's your OS) may or may not load on the second computer afterward. That's a 'try it and see' issue.
There's also the licensing issue...if an OEM OS is installed on computer 1 you cannot clone it to computer 2. Same deal if you only have one license for a retail copy of Windows on computer 1 unless you're uninstalling it from computer 1 afterward.

P.S. I don't believe Ghost 2003 required both partitions to be equally-sized. Rather, partition 2 just needs to be large enough to house all of partition 1's data.

Norton ghost 2003
Lets say:
1. P4 asus board, 80gb hdd.
2. P4 intel board, 160bg hdd.
Questions:
1. I want to ghost 1 -> 2. Is this ok.
2. Thus ghosting requires equal capacity of hdd ie: 80gb to 80gb.
3. Is this possible? Lets say an 80gb hdd has 2 partitions. And another 80gb has 3 partitions. Suppose I want to ghost ONLY the first partition of the first hdd to the second hdd first partition.
