[ale] OT: Copying a complete hard drive

[John Wells]

Guys,

I have a desktop with a Windows XP hard drive and would like to transfer
the entire drive to a laptop.  The laptop has a 40GB hard drive, and the
XP machine has a 20GB hard drive.  I can safely overwrite all data on the
laptop drive.

With as little ridicule as you can manage (hey...it's for work), is there
any easy or creative way to accomplish this with open tools?  If not, any
way to do it with commercial tools?

Thanks for the help!

John
