Why not just use Win95 Backup? I've backed up my entire drive to another
computer with no problem, and the Backup facility gives you the option of
making a "full backup" (hidden and registry files included). Backing up my
almost-full 2 gig hard drive takes about 1.5 hours. There is also the
availabilty of error-checking and file-comparing during the backup process,
so
the data gets across in good shape.
