Drive Image from PowerQuest can do the same thing.  Beware, though, moving from old to radically new hardware can cause unexpected problems.  I did this with my mom's computer.  Old Gateway system with 366 MHz AMD K6-2 to a custom built Asus P4PE motherboard with 2 GHz P4.  Windows 2000 Pro on it would start to boot up, and then say Inaccessible Boot Device" on the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).  I was thinking to myself, "Well, what were you just reading to get that far?!?!  Piece of @%$#  !!"  I ended up wiping the drive and reinstalling all the software.  Took a long friggen time!  :(

I'm not (well, not by choice, it's on my work computer), but my Mom does every day.
