RE: dd in=/dev/sda out=/dev/sdb



 Pull out old drive, 
Put in new drive, 
Install on new drive 
Put in old drive (as D/E or whatever) 
Find the utility in Vista that does migration from old to new 

Gosh does M$ systems even have dd?  If so, then M$ is seeing the light like 
Apple and just putting a wrapper on a *NIX like OS. 

I would go read M$'s technet first
