Cloning Windows 7 x64

[DrAwesome109]

I fell into the Corsair Force 3 SSD trap. Now I have to send my hard drive back to Corsair in order to get a replacement. Before I do this I'd like to make a usable clone of my boot drive while it's in transit to the RMA dpartment. I don't suppose I could mirror it, wait for it to sync, then break the mirror?

My preference (I bought it): http://www.disk-image.com/
It will create a disk-image or it can clone. It's rock solid.

As long as you can still boot, you should be able to image the drive. Make sure your RAID array is setup before restoring to it.

Clonezilla is a good free program.
