Can I clone the computer HD to an external HD with the Windows 7 Data Transfer Utility for use as a backup if my HD fails or do I need a special cloning utility? If so can you recommend one?
No, the Easy Transfer Wizard only migrates user profiles, data, & program settings, not programs or the OS. There are numerous drive cloning softwares out there, Ghost, Acronis TrueImage, Clonezilla, etc. Google is your friend for this.
