i want to make a complete copy of my laptop's harddrive..prior to moving to win7 RC.
it's got XP on it now.
i have an ESATA/USB hard drive cradle, and a spare 160 gig harddrive sitting around. so compression or whatever isnt a problem.
i just want to make a complete copy of the harddrive, so that should i need to i can restore the contents of the drive without issue.
what utility would allow me to do this?
it must be bootable from USB key (netbook, no CD drive), and it must be free. (i'm cheap)
any suggestions?
