I have a dual boot system on my Thinkpad T43,<br>
with Windows XP on /dev/sda1 .<br>
I&#39;m just acquired a 250GB WD disk,<br>
and I am wondering if there is any Linux tool I can use<br>
to copy my Windows XP over to the new drive<br>
(which I can mount in the ultrabay)?<br>
<br>
I once used dd to copy a Windows distribution,<br>
and it didn&#39;t work properly.<br>
Is there anything better for this nowadays?<br>
<br>
Nb I don&#39;t use Windows much, but would like to keep it if possible.<br>
