I have to clone my 40-GB hard disk. I use Windows 2000 and NTFS file system.
Can anyone recommend a free hard disk cloner? I'm building a second PC and I
want it to be just like my present one.
Have not tried myself, but found
Clone maxx - version 1.0

PC INSPECTORT clone maxx can be started directly from a boot diskette. The
copying process is always based on the physical drive and is independent of
the file system (e.g. FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, HPFS, NTFS, Ext2, Reiser, etc.)
or the number of partitions.
This is how you start:

Clone maxx - version 1.0
The Program is run from a bootable floppy disk.
The Program can only clone a complete disk.
That is, if the source disk contains a C:\ with 40GByte, the destination
disk will also contain
a C:\ with 40GByte.
But if running Windows XP then
start > run > cmd
diskpart
Select disk 0
select partition 1
extend Size=tail in MB
Then the c:\ drive extends to the size given in MegaByte
but it is not possible to make it smaller.
If you want to extend to use the complete disk,
just write "Extend"
