While I'm joking about the fool part... what is the easiest way for a non technical person to create a cloned drive (on USB) that they can swap out to boot if their drive fails?


IMHO the cheapest way is to run xcopy /r/i/c/h/k/e/y then if & when the system's main drive conks out put the USB drive in it's place, boot the Xp Cd, go to the Recovery Console & run "fixboot", remove cd & boot as one normally would.
