Make a Linux boot CD and use the command dd to clone a disk

how about Norton Ghost..you can back up drives or copy them to other drives. It's not freeware though.

There was a free version of Ghost before Norton bought it, I forget who made it though, and it doesn't support NTFS anyway

Ghost is cool, though, but yeah, not free

Norton Ghost does NTFS... It was the old old version before it was Norton's that didn't.

Or, once again, use the free unix-based utility g4u.

It's part of the Ultimate Boot CD, which I can't stress enough, is pretty much essential to anyone who uses a computer (x86, that is).
