About the clone thing



I saw a thread here asking whether you could clone a system to another
drive. From what I could see, there was no discussion of actual cloning.

On another OS I used I could do a true clone of the disk at any time onto
another disk and boot that disk at will.

Is the discussion of other methods based on a fact that there is no such
thing as a true clone utility available or does micro$oft put in special
killer programs designed to detect cloning and destroy any attempts to
move to a bigger drive?
