Actually, it copies everything except the current swap file, which of
course is irrelevant because it gets recreated at each boot. Windows
Explorer and chkdsk both confirm that the number of files copied equals
the number of files on the source drive, minus one. As Roxanne mentioned
in another post, if the source drive is not your boot drive, you'll even
get the current swap file.

I used Ghost, which is free (30 day demo) and works wonderfully! I
highly recommend it.
