My suggestions:

1] Use Partition Magic Pro for resizing, converting and moving partitions (on the same disk);
2] Use Ghost (pref. Enterprise 6.5) for cloning;
3] Use a Promise Fasttrak controller for cheap mirroring.

Regarding point 1: used it for many years and it has never failed!
Regarding point 2: tried Drive Image, it's crap. Ghost can do cloning over USB, SCSI, parallel and network as well. I use it constantly over 100Mbps Ethernet at work. Even store your image on a (bootable) CD-R(W) directly!
Regarding point 3: evaluated Fasttrak66 Pro (including fastswap bays). Limited to U-ATA/66, but it is HARDWARE RAID 0, 1, 1+0.

John Turner (jwtadmin) is very wrong on his point that Windows 2000 Pro can do mirroring... It CANNOT do that, not even any form of RAID! As you can read in the help Mirrored and RAID-5 volumes are available only on computers running Windows 2000 Server. You can, however, use a computer running Windows 2000 Professional to create mirrored and RAID-5 volumes on a remote computer running Windows 2000 Server.

Yesterday I backed up my laptop over 100Mbps switched Ethernet to Ghost's Multicast Server. 11Gb took 42'11" WOW!
