Hello I'm new to the forums and I have been searching all over for a good answer on how to do this.

I have a ton of applications, docs, etc. on my old windows xp machine that I need and I am looking for a way to clone the drive it to my mac that is using VMWare Fusion. I have an external hard drive and have tried acronis true image but apparently that doesnt work. So I am looking for a good step by step process on how to do this.

Also later I want to clone the same windows xp drive to another mac that is using boot camp. will that be the same?

Thanks:apple:

If the two machines are networked together, it might
be possible with a Linux live CD, netcat and dd. Not
saying that is the best way to do it, though. That's
just what fell out of my head!
