The reason I do it all the time is to make weekly clones. For example, this machine uses Windows 2000 Pro. All of our desktops have removable hard drive enclosures (for the "cloned" or emergency substitution in case of hard drive crash. We move them off location in case of theft, fire, flood....etc). I am using twin 7200rpm 40 G ATA133 IDE drives (as a RAID 0 striped array for faster performance) and use a single 80G ATA133 IDE for the clone. One of my other computers is using XP Pro with twin 15000RPM SCSIs and it works great there also. I am using Norton Systems Work Professional that has Norton Ghost. ONLY use the floppy disk boot and be sure to read the instructions carefully.
