Hey all.

I'm wanting to cloan drive a to drive b and for drive b to be bootable just like drive a is.
If I have both drives as slaves, is this possible to do in windows?
Since drive a only has around 5gb of content on it, what i'd really like to be able to do is connect drive a up as slave, make a image of the drive, disconnect drive a, connect drive b and load the image onto it - all from with in windows.
Any pointers would be welcome.

Hi, you could try using partition magic.
I'm sure there are free software out thre that can do the job as well but never used it since I've always found partition magic accessible for me.

Terabyte Unlimited's Image For Windows can do this. What's more, there's an extensive command line that allows full automation of any operation. Google "image for windows" or visit http://www.terabyteunlimited.com.
