Disk Clone to a New Computer?

[mrpickles478]

I'm building a new computer for a friend. He's upgrading from an Athlon X2 based computer moving to a new Phenom quad core system new motherboard and everything and is using windows xp. Is it possible to use a utility like Norton Ghost to make a backup of the windows xp install and move it to the new system? He is mostly just worried about having to reinstall all his applications drivers and configurations.


any help appreciated.
