I bit for the alohabob. I'll report back if anyone wants a first hand experience - I have a machine that I replaced the HDD in just a couple days ago. I installed W2K and was about to reinstall all the apps from original CDs - I'll use PC Relocator and we'll see if it flies.

For replacing a laptop hard drive I cloned the old one using Acronis True Image. I would recommend that product. But for replacing a computer, I don't think it is the right product.

By the way, for cloning a drive, even Acronis is not nearly as easy or as straight forward as Apple's Disk Utility restore.
