Whats the best disk cloning software

[LeHaM]

Hi everybody..
I would like to make an image of my windows 7 partition and use it as a quick restore so if i mess the os up i can quickly and easily restore it to an fully set up state.. And i can't decide which program to use.
Thanks in advance

For me, Clonezilla.

Hi LeHaM

You might be interested in this software (I noticed from your system specs that you have a WD)

or this software that is not Western Digital specific.

Slight side note, seeking opinions ...
Every time I use the Acronis on the OS drive then when I put in that HD instead I get boot errors. Last time I was able to fix it with the System Restore Disc but it makes me wonder if I'm ending up with a "dirty install" and maybe I should just install from scratch to the new HD.

Another one for Macrium Reflect (Free).
Packs the image to roughly 1/3 (space) of the original and is really easy to use.

What error are we talking about?
