Wicked busy can be a good thing, depending...
I managed to get things settled here in the new digs... but I have a feeling more busy is on the way very soon.

Good morning, Tibby!
I've used GHOST in the past to do cloning, but with Windows systems it can be dicey. Windows 98 was the last version I was able to clone successfully between different machines of the same type. Cloning an HD for the same computer seems to work okay, though, and I've done that successfully with Windows XP. Haven't tried cloning Windows 7.
Cloning for a new computer gets tricky because, unless the new machine has the same configuration as the old one, you'll start having problems with device drivers and such. There's also an issue with Windows internal security stuff.
I know Microsoft released a preparation tool or something like that to ease the cloning process. It was mostly for companies looking to do rapid rollout of new machines.
So... bottom line... it's been ages. I don't know about cloning with current tech... Ralph would probably have more info.
GHOST is available from symantec.com, and is marketed primarily for system backup and restoration.

ghost is not much recommended anymore - acronis or macri-something seems to be top choice. but i can't find any info on the basics, lol
i've talked to a national data recovery service, they tell me to keep them as a last resort as long as i don't get strange noises from the drive i can try on my own first.
