Hi there,

Is it possible to transfer the system to another hard drive without reinstalling the system, can I use 'ghost' to do it ?

You should, however, prepare yourself for trouble in terms of (re-)booting: as I dare say, you will have to manually adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst as well as /etc/fstab (- at least those are the "usual suspects" I know of).

Would that be due to the use of UUID?

Bingo in addition, at least with "Feisty", a former /dev/hdx partition may get "converted" to /dev/sdx ...
