Bought a new hard drive and I'm selling my old one.

How do I copy EVERYTHING from my old hard drive to my new one?

There's a pretty handy utility called drive image which will do this for you. I had a copy a while ago (from the front of a mag I think) and it worked great. I'm sure you'll find it on download.com or similar too.
Partition Magic might do the same, although I've never used it.

Norton Ghost can create a hard drive clone. There are several other programs but Ghost is my favorite.

Partition Magic won't do it, it's sister product Drive Image (also from the PowerQuest stable) will however. In all honestly Norton Ghost is probably a little more straightforward in use.
