One that has the boot sector, etc on it?

I have two stock computers. Both are identical. Same hardware/software/etc.

If I have say a segate 80gb drive and it's dying, can I get a Maxtor drive (100 gb or the same size) and copy the first computer's drive to it so that I don't have to re-install the drivers?

I've used Norton Ghost to do that.  It can make exact copies of harddrives, including boot sectors.

Put it in a Linux box.  Use dd.
