Ah, when you said "I need both those connectors ..." I thought you meant
on the board. I now see you mean on the (single) cable.

Yes, I can get your inclination to use a floppy - and if that works,
fine. I think you can put Macrium or Acronis on bootable USB sticks, but
that motherboard probably won't boot from USB. (You can also get SATA
CD/DVD drives - in fact, I think they're commonest these days.) Or
temporarily connect both EIDE hard drives to another computer, and use
that to do the cloning.

Hang on though: You say "There is only one IDE connector on the
motherbd. One of them goes to the CD drive." One of them? You have the
CD drive and the HD connected to the motherboard - are they both on the
same cable, going to one connector on the mobo? If they're each
connected to a separate connector on the mobo, you can connect up to
four EIDE objects - you just need cables with three connectors on them.
(One for the mobo, two for the drives.)

I thought I wasclear when I said THERE IS ONLY ONE IDE CONNECTOR ON THE
MOTHERBOARD. That means I can use two devices.

Yes, this computer will boot from a USB stick. I have a few sticks with
older versions of Linux that I occasionally boot up.

BUt I'll stick with Norton Ghost and a floppy. Easiest solution, and
Acronis is said to be very complicated. I prefer simple!!!
