Thank you for the suggestions.

On my system, EXT2IFS and TrueCrypt interact causing BSODs when mounting TrueCrypt images. So I uninstalled EXT2IFS a few weeks ago.

I tried the Personal Backup Appliance you linked to. I can't get VMware to boot off the 62 MB ISO downloaded from PBA's webserver ... it keeps booting off the Maemo VMware appliance despite trying tricks to get the BIOS screen to allow me to boot off the CD (ISO).

So I ended up using the DOS version of Ghost again, this time to span the image. Luckily it automatically split the image at the 2 GB mark.

I have the VMware Disk Mount Utility, but ended up never using it. I also downloaded the Acronis TrueImage 15-day trial in case this doesn't work.

Hopefully I didn't waste all day getting image just to find out my Thinkpad (PII/366MHz, 224 MB RAM) doesn't like it.
