NTFS System Volume - how to image copy to a new, larger, disk?

I've hit the wall on storage space on
my NTFS C: drive. I've spent a lot of
time on the web trying to find a utility
that will allow me to install another,
larger, IDE drive and do an image copy
of the current system volume to the new disk.
Unfortunately there's just too much
software out there that *sounds* like it
might work. I'm totally shell shocked.

Ideally I'd love something that runs off
of a floppy directly without the need for
a DOS partition (since I don't have a DOS
partition.)

Can anyone recommend a good utility that
does this reliably? Perhaps low-cost
shareware or freeware?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

There are quite a few ways to do this.

- make a temporary new NT installation
- use SCOPY.exe (from NT Resource kit)
- use GHOST
- use DRIVECOPY
- create a mirror of your drive

and I'm sure there are others.
