Norton Ghost works pretty well. PowerQuest's Drive Image works too. Just do a Google search for either of them.

norton ghost works.

and whats great is even though its like 80 megs installed and stuff, with all the fancy graphics adn tutorials, the real thing is only like 160 k.


so you just need a dos boot disk , 2 hard drives, and the 160k exe file and you are all set. i used it today to transfer my system from a 60 gig 5400 rpm drive, to a new fast 40 gig 7200 rpm drive
