RE: [offtopic] harddrive cloning

you could try the freeware dos partitioner at 
http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/

it includes a disk and/or partition copy utility that copies sector by 
sector- see help menu for commands - they're not at all obvious. the 
interface is poor, but the website has good documentation.

i haven't tried it for a boot drive, but it has commands for separately 
copying the bootsector, so i'm sure it can be done somehow.

cheers
