The easiest and most efficient way of making an image of a HDD is with Norton Ghost.

Or Acronis
Or Drive Image
Or a number of other products...

That's true Patio.  However I prefer Norton Ghost, so that was my recommendation. 

chiragsk,

Your best bet is to use Google to search for the product you want to use and then read the documentation on it.  Most products will have a step by step guide.

Here's a link to Acronis's (http://www.acronis.com/promo/ATI/true-image-025.html?source=google&ad=disk+imaging&s_scid=disk%20imaging%20software|1020515957&gclid=CKn1l9D4kI8CFRUHWAodYCQ5fg) website.  It's a cost effective product and looks like it will do the job more than well enough.

And a link to Norton Ghost (http://www.argentuma.com/backup/software/norton-ghost.html) as well.  If you need any further help just let us know.  But before you rush into this, take some time and read first.

I understand...
I was just letting him know there are alternatives...
As a long tine loyal Ghost supporter unfortunately i jumped ship after Symantec got their hands on it.
