I've been trying to do this for a while now. Basically, I want to transfer everything from my C: partition to my new hard drive, in the same state as the C: drive, so that essentially it will work EXACTLY like the C: drive.
Why the emphasis? Well, I first used the good ol' Xcopy command with all the neccessary switches (ie. /h, /e etc.), but I was disappointed when the computer didn't boot from the drive once I had set it as the main HD that should be used in the BIOS.
Next, I used a program called DrvClonerXP, which states it copies each sector exactly as the partition you wish to copy - but after trying it out, I had the same result as the previous method.
I've also used the Disk to Disk method in DriveImage, but that took way too long (16% in 2 hours) so I abandoned it.
So now I'm turning to you clever bunch of people - any suggestions?

First thing is that the hard drive you have copied to has to have an active partition otherwise it will not boot, you can do this in fdisk, also is the destination disk smaller than the source disk, if so then norton ghost will not be good for you as it does not like copying to a smaller drive, if they are the same size or the source is bigger then use ghost if not then there is a free little program called xxcopy
