Generally this is called disk imaging. You can use a product called Symantec Ghost. You would connect the source hard disk and destination hard disk in the same computer. Create a boot floppy and image the source disk to the destination disk. Try Symantec Ghost.

It's technically possible by "making a disk image" but whether it is legal depends on why you are doing it.
If you just want to be able to recover from a disk crash, its totally legal (and advisable) to make an "image". If you are making a copy for a friend or another computer its likely you are violating software licenses.
However if you are making a copy of the disk in order use it on another computer that you personally are using, like a laptop, while you are NOT using the first computer, It may not be a violation of the software agreements.

Hi,
You can do that. It is done using an imaging software. You can also use Norton Ghost to make an Imaging Hard Disk and use it.

relies upon if the restoration disk has the OS in it. does it say homestead windows vista, and so on on the CD? if it does then it could paintings yet rather of doing all that why do no longer you merely boot employing the restoration disk and reformat the computing device..it rather is much less risky.

Yes, but that's called illegal software piracy, so don't do it.
