Hard Drive cloning

Can anyone recommend any free HDD cloning utilities please?

I want to upgrade a hard drive on a friends pc as it is nearly full but don't really want to faff about reinstalling windows.

Cheers

Parted magic is just a fat version of clonezilla. I use clonezilla for imaging all our development systems at work.
