Bootable Hard drive cloning disk recommendations.

[adcx64]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a bootable software I can burn on a disk to fully clone a hard drive. I have a 500 GB drive with two partitions and I want to clone both to a 160 GB drive so I can use the 500 in a different computer. I need the 160 to be bootable as it would become the new boot drive in the computer.

Norton Ghost or Acronis. I use Norton Ghost.

If you want freeware then use clonezilla cd.

What brand is the harddrive you want to clone to?


EDIT:
Vendor specific and free:
Maxtor MaxBlast 5
Seagate DiscWizard
Acronis True Image WD Edition Software

I use Acronis True Image. If one of the Drives is Western Digital then you can download the free Acronis version from WD's site and use it. I used the free version too and it worked.

Will these make sure the cloned drive will be bootable? One of them is a WD...

You wont notice any difference except amount of free space, as long as you use the image from the machine in the same machine. And yes it will boot.
