If you use ghost, you need to edit fstab to make it look for ext 2 file systems as ghost doesn't copy the journal inode of ext 3.
then use tune2fs -j /dev/....... to add it back in and edit the fstab back to ext3 on the new drive...

I would like to suggest using dump/restore to make the backup.
Something like:
mount /dev/hdb1 /newroot dump -0f - / | (cd /newroot; restore -xf -)

why not just use Norton Ghost and ghost an image of the current drive to a new drive, boot with the CentOS rescue CD, reinstall grub and you're done! definitely the easiest way I can think of.
Possible reasons:
- Not everyone has it
- Not everyone has Windows
- Not everyone is willing to pay for Ghost
- Not everyone is willing to pay for Windows
- Norton Ghost is not F/OSS
- Everyone who has CentOS already has dump/restore, cpio, tar and cp
There real question becomes, then, why to use ghost (for this).

because it simply works with the least amount of possibility for error. Its a matter of using the right tool for the job. nothin more nothin less.
