Resolved Create image of hard drive in Vista Ultimate!??

Hi everybody...I know I've done this on XP Pro before, and found pretty much the same thing in Vista Ultimate under

Control Panel ---> Administrative Tools ---> Computer Management ---> Disk Management

All I want to do is run a mirror - NOT the Complete PC backup - where I can copy from the ENTIRE content (including MBR, setting, programs, files, etc.) to an empty bigger one (my new 250GB 7200rpm baby )... Then I just want to swap out the hard drives, and use my current one (160GB 5400rpm) as a backup drive.

I would also like to update the old drive every 1-2 months using this procedure.

If XP Pro can do this, Vista Ultimate (64-bit just FYI) must have the ability, too, I would think (hope!??). I had a problem with this before, and it was a little thing I was overlooking. GRRRR...I must have clicked on every menu item that came close to what I need 10 times. Please help.

Thank you!

 

Thanks Steve...I got it all resolved. Thanks!
