Software to copy an HD?

    Does anyone know a good program I can use to copy a hard drive? I tried doing it with Norton Ghost but unfortunately Ghost doesn't actually have the ability to copy a hard drive, it can only do individual partitions (which their documentation calls HD's).

    I just want to make an exact copy of one HD on another HD. Both drives are exactly the same size and can be plugged into the same computer. So I don't need to make an image file, just a direct copy from one HD to another. I need it to copy everything including the mbr, both drives should be bootable.

    I know I could most likely do this by setting up a temporary RAID array but I was hoping there is a program I could use since this computer does not support RAID.

    Thanks for the help. I gave EASEUS Todo Backup a try and it worked like a charm.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I read through the descriptions of each of the recommended software and a few others and was unsure which would work for what should be a simple task. Glad to know Easeus Todo can clone a disk and make it bootable.
