Thanks for the info Dave, I might give that a try if CloneZilla doesn't 
work.  In this case it was just a straight drive swap but yeah if I was 
cloning a load of PCs then I'd run SysPrep on them before cloning (I 
have distant memories of GhostWalker on NT 4 :-)

I'm thinking though if it works with Vista (and Windows 7) then it could 
be a handy addition to my USB stick (although I'd have to figure out how 
to get it to work alongside Ubuntu on the same stick, a job for another 
day I think).
