I believe Maxblast does have a clone feature.
But I would NOT use it, I had problem with a machine when I did. It
installs that BIOS overlay wether you need it or not, and it's difficult to
remove. You need to reformat and then some.
Use Ghost or Partition Magic(Server) or ???. The bucks you spread will save
a lot of pain.
