How long it will take will depend on how much is on the hard drive you copied and on the program you use.
Acronis True Image is one we usually recommend.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the question but I take it that rockyxl is referring to formating the HDD and reinstalling the the OS.

The impression I got was that he wanted to be able to reinstall a clean version rapidly at need.

Would be nice if the original post utilized proper sentence structure and punctuation. I've made it a personal rule to ignore any posts like this. If you can't phrase your questions properly and follow the sentence with a question mark, I'm not going to guess what you really want to know.
