System Image Recovery
Other favored programs with more options include Macrium - Image your system and the premium Acronis imaging/cloning apps which come free with any WD or Seagate HD in the mix.
You can also link your files to another HD without much performance loss, using Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums or User Folders - Change Default Location. The only hitch with the last method is that it will make the data partition/drive a System drive and force it to be included in Windows Image backup.
