Does Disk cloning do what I think it does?

I've been wanting to buy a hard drive to put in an external enclosure to get a bunch of media off my internal hdd.

Lately, I've been thinking about buying a Raptor to replace the WD 250gb Caviar in my rig and using the 250gb as my external drive.

Does disk cloning allow me to basically move the OS/Programs/Games/and other non storage stuff off my 250gb and onto the Raptor without reformatting (and have it all be functional)??

Or is there another way to do what I want?

Btw.....if I managed to describe my situation in a way that is incomprehensible, just let me know and I'll try to rewrite it.

Thanks guys.

Yes, in a way, but you can't pick and choose what data to clone. If you have more data on the hard drive than the size of the Raptor you get, you won't be able to "disk clone" until you can move some data somewhere else.

Thanks, I figured I'd need to do something like you mentioned.

I'll probably toss the stuff I don't want to clone on my friend's external drive.
