Hi Misty,
You are right in that you shouldn't need to do partition to partition copy twice. A disk to disk copy should have done the trick.
To help figure out what is wrong, can you please perform the following steps to get an error log (ghosterr.txt), and attached the output as a comment here.
1) either via Ghost UI or command line, specify your operation.
2) When you are at the screen asking you whether or not to proceed with the operation, press Ctrl + C. This should abort the operation and generate ghosterr.txt file.
Regards,
Peter
