List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: There is a great program out there called Image cast 4.5 that will do just this sort of thing. It isn't free, but I love it. Image cast does have a dos client which you can make a batch file for which will do the following: A. Image all your files, and if you want image [partitions as well. B. converts it to a file which you send to another computer on your network or another hard drive in your computer. C. I use a batch file which then extracts the image onto the new hard drive, and it is easy as that. If you are interrested email me off list and I'll see if I can help you get up and running with IC 4.5, and get your drives imaged.
