TSGL: clone drive

[A Hasanat Khan]

The idea for image cloning is so that one can one can change the hard drive 
to another, usually larger, in the same machine. This I have done, and I 
know it works.  If it is a different machine with a different mobo, I have 
never tried it. it might boot and may ask for new drivers for the new mobo. 
I do not know. . It should boot though. When happens afterwards, is 
something I have not tried.
