Hi All,

I am designing a new system for a customer.  It is a
Windows POS (point of sale) system running Windows 2000.
I will be upgrading it to XP.  It currently has a 20 GB NTFS
hard drive.  (It is really, really old: Pentium III
with ugly IBM white case.)

For backup purposes, I need to clone the hard drive.
(Other backups as well, but I know how to do those.)

The smallest hard drive I can get on the new system
is 320 GB. So I was thinking (no smilin') that a second
dual boot partition of Fedora would easily fit.
That way, when I come in to do maintenance, I can just
boot into Fedora and run a clone of the NTFS partition.
And date it appropriately.

Question: what do you think would be the easiest way to
clone the NTFS partition: "dd", "Clonzilla"?  Your
thoughts appreciated.

Many thanks,
-T
