Make the destination disk a Linux machine with enough capacity. On that Linux machine run (IP address of Linux machine in this case is 10.1.1.1)
Nc -l -p 9000 | dd of=NTMACHINE.dd Nc is Netcat which should be on the Linux install or can be easily downloaded. Go to www.sysinternals.com and get the Unix Utils which will include dd and netcat for Windows Both will fit on a floppy. >From the floppy on your NT machine run Dd if=\\.\PhysicalDrive0 | nc 10.1.1.1 9000 PhysicalDrive0 = Partitiion 0 It can take a while if it's a large partition but when complete you will have a file called NTMACHINE.dd which is the same size as the partition on your NT machine. To access that file as a filesystem and read through the files use the following Mkdir /NTPartition Mount /NTMACHINE.dd /NTPartition -o loop=/dev/loop3 Now when you cd into the /NTPartition directory you will see all the files from your NT machine. Yes inclusing the sam files etc. Would also work to clone an NT machine to another NT machine as a copy for booting etc. Just run netcat and dd on both from floppy or even a linux both floppy.
