I've forgotten what the OP's question was, but when it comes to Ghosting/imaging Windows OS's to another drive or partition, I've used this (free for private edition/use) software numerous times with great results (I've always pulled the hdd's physically and connected via USB to ensure no running processes interfered): http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm.
