My primary HD , which has my OS (win2k) installed, I
believe is going bad. It makes knocking sounds when
accessing and takes 3x longer than my secondary
drive to load any applications. Is Partition Magic able
to make a mirror copy of the HD so I can just plug the
new one in, and not have to reinstall everything on my
primary? Has anyone done it and how well did it work?
Is the CD bootable? If not, is there another piece of softare
that is capable of doing this? Thanks in advance for your
help.

Many Drive manufacturers supply a utility to clone a drive.
