Need Imaging Software for Multi Boot on Laptop

I currently dual boot a laptop with Vista (installed first)/XP Pro and will probably at some point either add a win7 or switchout win7 for Vista and would also like to have a partition to experiment with linux.

I am upgrading to 500gb hd from 120gb.

Is there a hd cloning tool that will reliably image a drive loaded with several OS partitions so that no tricks,fixes, or workarounds are needed.

I am familiar with norton ghost for xp only.

I have heard of acronis and the like but want to get some feedback from folks who have a similar setup to find out what seems to work reliably.

Any help appreciated.

Nobody answered, so I will.
Every time the cloning question comes up here, and it comes up often, I just say use Casper V 6.0.
Multi boot, recovery partitions MBR MFT settings passwords hidden parts - bookmarks, emails, everything goes, bit for bit
Clone the first drive to second, change boot order in bios and now boot from second

XP Vista Win 7 X64 X86
