Cool

XXCOPY Personal Edition v2.80.3 is free from Pixielabs at <a href="http://www.xxcopy.com/" target="_blank">http://www.xxcopy.com/</a>

Its like a superpowerful Xcopy and the equivalent of a very sharp knife - wonderful if you are careful. The command syntax is very complex and rather arcane, but but for moving systems,

XXCOPY C D /CLONE will do the trick.

Just make sure that you are in a DOS box in Windows (you heard me right, IN Windows).
And if you're like me, with a lot of physical. logical and mapped drives, make sure you've typed the right f**king drive letter for the destination (only made that mistake once).

RTFM (long and complicated, but worth it). It'll handle NTFS volumes too.
