[olug] [OT] Drive copy utilities?

 Howdy folks,

I am looking for a standalone disk copy utility for imaging one hard drive
to
another. For this particular application, I am using PATA drives. The source

drive will be ~250 GB while the dest drive will be ~400 GB.

I want something OS independent, so something that is a standalone bootable
CD
is highly preferred. Shareware and freeware is great but I am also looking
at
commercial software, something akin to Ghost. As an aside, Ghost might be
too
confusing for some end-users to easily follow instructions, but maybe not.

While a roll-it-yourself Linux solution comes to mind for many folks, I'm
not
looking at this as a primary option, unless I've missed some great Linux
project out there to do just this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

~Kevin Hinze
