Ghost won't work (IIRC) on unknown OS types as it ony copies used data blocks. Netcat does a binary copy and does not care what OS or data...
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.
