Have you tried the WD Utility?

This will do disk imaging as long as one of the drives is a WD.

:disgust: Symantec Ghost will also do it. Just because you like Acronis doesn't mean its the only answer. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ will also do it, although there is a bit more involved.

Get the Acronis "Migrate Easy" trial. It's very easy to use.
