Jim,
To add to what the others have said here, I have used Norton Ghost's
various versions for many years. Ghost will clone, image and do incremental
backups. Currently, people seem more satisfied with True Image than Ghost
though. (Ghost is clunky and takes a while to learn to use. But it has always
worked successfully for me.)
Please be aware that most hard drive manufacturers provide free
utilities to migrate your hard drive contents to a new drive too. I've used
Western Digital's utility a couple of times with no problem.
So, if you're just looking to migrate your old hard drive contents to a
new replacement drive, I'd say that the free utility provided by the drive
manufacturer works well enough. But if you're going to use it for regular
incremental backups, look at True Image, Ghost, etc.

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?
