I have a similar issue except I had to make an image because my hard drive started to die. If there's a link for this type of problem too that would be cool, I just couldn't find it. And then I would need to know whats the best way to copy the Windows partition to run as a recovery disk. Will bootcamp work with a recovery disk? If so that might be the easiest option if the easeus program linked above doesn't work. I also thought about just trying to create a recovery disk for the windows partition.
I guess I could always just save all of the windows files and move them back after reinstalling windows but that would take a long time. , that's cross platform but I don't know anything about mac Bios or any of that and I'm not sure it would work. Sector by Sector for hard drive backup freeware.
I found this website, EASEUS Disk Copy: Free Disk Copy, Disk Clone, Partition Copy Software. I would like to just completely copy the entire drive and then reload that info onto a new drive. From what I understand, time machine only copies OSX and doesnt even touch my windows partition. I running bootcamp with Windows 7 and files on that partition i dont want to lose.

What I'm trying to do is create a clone/exact copy of my current HD so I can then use that copy to install onto a new HD. I'm so totally lost on this issue I'm not even sure I put the topic in the right section.
