Sysprep the machine and run Acronis true image alternatively you can download the WAIK set of tools for Windows for free and use tools such as Imagex to capture the image can also do more advanced stuff such as injecting drivers by use of DISM. You then boot the machine up using WinPe 3.0 and deploy your image.

Hi,
Any suggestions on the best/current tools for duplicating a HD?
I have a Win7 laptop that I want to upgrade the disk in it so I can dual boot it with Linux.
I have a replacement disk, but want to duplicate the exiting one onto the new drive.
I've used Clonezilla before to do this kind of thing on a desktop where I can have both drives connected at once, but I'm not sure the best way to do this on a laptop where only one disk can be connected at a time.
Any suggestions?
Andy
