[ale] OT: Copying a complete hard drive

[Jerald Sheets]

If you have the means, 

I have a 300G external drive with Retrospect Lite software.  

You can back up an entire machine and  restore it to a different machine.

Only $300!  LOL!

I hope that helps you in some small, insignifcant way!

Subject: [ale] OT: Copying a complete hard drive

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
