Acronis True Image: http://www.acronis.com/ - not free, but the best

Free alternatives:
- Macrium Reflect: http://www.macrium.com/ReflectFree.asp
- DriveImage XML: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm (tutorial: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial160.html)
- SelfImage: http://www.excelcia.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=21
- Paragon Drive Backup: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/

Create appropriate folders on the new drive, if needed.
Copy/Paste.

some manufacturers like WD provide software for the purpose too

I also use Acronis True Image Home.. but another good free option for creating disk clone as well as file/folder backups is EASUS Todo Backup

btw... EASUS also supports BartPE and Linux based recovery options
