Hi John,

I use a program by VCOM called "Copy Commander" to clone drives.  It 
loads and runs from a bootable CD and and makes sector for sector copies 
of about any operating system from DOS through XP, Linux etc. 

One note.  For Win XP NTFS drives (and perhaps 2K also), you MUST mark 
the "Make New SID" block to insure that the new Hard drive will boot 
properly.  I bought it at Staples and it was VERY reasonably priced.
