Thanks for the reply glc.

If I were to do the aforementioned upgrade of the work computer, which software would you recommend I buy in order to make a good image of the hard drive?

I figure that if I make a clone of the hard drive as it is — If it doesn't work, I can just plug the old computer in again, no productivity lost, no harm done.

Edit: I've just realized that I would most likely have to install Windows XP (or another OS) to get the restore program working... and restoring the drive image would cause two OS's to appear, complicating issues further. Any suggestions?
