every computer i work on, i slave the hdd on my computer, copy all data of "data" partition (if any) then take a ghost image of c drive partition. reinstall windows, drivers, patches.......... then take another image, this image i leave on the data partition along with all the data taken, this way if anything happens i can restore the computer to the exact same state it was given to me, i tell people to put all data in the data partition so next time i just ghost the image of the fresh install back on, also u can use ghost explorer.exe, this expands the image so u can copy data from ur old c drive.
anyway just take an image of your c drive, not the whole disk
