Creating an image of my Harddrive

[magicroundabout]

hi all,

i'm toying with the idea of swapping out my 128gb SSD from my gaming PC into my Macbook pro and then using my Momentus XT as my main C: Drive in my PC. I know my SSD has a smaller capacity but my router (Netgear WNDR3800) has a ready share port which i can store my iTunes folder too etc so won't need much space on my mac.

But to do this i want to create an image of my current hard dive within my mac so i can then quickly swap over to the SSD and burn the image to it.

i know i can create an image using the utility program within the mac but does this create a full image of everything on my hard drive?

If not can someone point me in the direction of the best tool to use for what i'm wanting.

cheers

ignore now. i've found out how to do it.

i wasn't selecting the correct location and therefore not being able to create my image.

i'm a novice to macs so am allowed a noob moment
