Yes, you would need a drive at least as big as the drive you are trying to recover. Because after running the recovery search with RMF you need to save the files to another drive because you can't save them to the drive you are recovering from, you have to have another drive anyway. One possibility is to get an external drive bigger than your present drive and partition it to the same size, (or slightly larger), and create a second partition with the remainder that is large enough to save the recovered files. ie, your present drive is 120GB. You get a 250GB second drive. Partition the first part at 121GB and the second with the remainder, then you can image your old drive with Norton Ghost to the 121GB partition and recover the files to the second partition.
