Not sure about newer versions of Ghost, but I know some older versions will copy
unknown partition types just fine; it merely does a bitwise copy of the
partition/drive, including empty space. The downside being that the disk
geometry of the target disk must be identical, since the copied partition/disk
cannot be adjusted due to Ghost being unaware of it's internal structure.
