I like norton ghost, then fix grub in the mbr because ghost will likely break it. After ghosting.. Boot with mepis (Any live-cd would probably do) Open a terminal window Mounted the drive (don't use the mepis icon as it mounts read only) mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 chroot /mnt/hda1 grub-install /dev/hda
Note your partitions may differ IE /dev/hda2 etc... Works like a charm.. Note, grub wants the "drive" to install to. Not the partition.
