Had a friend give me a call with some issues and found that he has 800 MB free space on 120GB drive.

Getting a new drive for him, but it's been a few years since I had to clone a Windows system. What software do ya'll recommend for cloning a Win XP drive nowadays.

I used Ghost by Symantec and True Image by Acronis on my Windows machines.

I agree. Use either Ghost or True Image. (Note that you need True Image Home version 2010 to clone Windows 7.)

Regards.
