You can use Norton ghost 7.0 or above (versions below do not support NTFS)

One thing, make sure the new hard drive is exactly the same size as the other one, or else it will not work.

I used 7.0 on my computer and my mothers. Transferring Windows 2000 NTFS from an 80GB drive to a new 160GB. I had some slight problems. When Windows would boot from the new drive, with the old drive still connected, after I would login, it would log me right back out. Really wierd. But I ghosted again, and booted windows from the 160g without the other drive connected, and it booted just fine. I then shut down, connected the 80 gig back, and it continued to boot just fine. Wierd

The Ultimate Boot CD has some ghosting utilities that should do the trick (drive -> same or larger-sized drive).
