Or rather than rely on the built in software in two different OS's to do
the job, find a 3rd party program that will do it. One that loads on
both OS's.

And if you don't have a good backup software now, then it might be time
to think about one. Acronis True Image can clone a HD, image a HD, or
backup files. And is XP/Vista compat.

You can get a 30 day trial and NewEgg has it on sale now and then under
$40.00
