    I have two identical company laptops with XP on. Because I’m out on site on a two year project they are more or less useless as you cannot do anything with them apart from read emails. The privileges are set so you cannot install anything i.e. printer drivers, software etc.

    Out of frustration I installed a copy of windows 7 on one of them and use it very effectively on site now for printing, have all my own software on it etc. Tip top machine.

    When the butchered laptop needs to go back is it possible somehow to clone the other laptop hdd and reinstall to the other machine. Bearing in mind I cannot install anything on it from Win XP due to admin privileges. So this would need to be done from some kind of boot disk?
