I just saw that the version of acronis that I have is not compatible with windows 7 64 bit. I am about to buy an oem hd, and I was wondering what is a good program to clone the drive that can be installed on a windows 7
 
It will be slow but you could always just boot a Linux LiveCD and use dd to create an exact copy of the existing disk. You'll probably have to resize partitions/filesystems afterwards, but it's pretty much guaranteed to work. PartImage is probably an option as well, though it's a little riskier.

Doesn't Acronis have a boot CD you can use?
 
Which version of Acronis True Image are you using? I am using True Image 2010 and have no issues.
