I'm putting a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro tonight. Migrating the Mac side is a piece of cake. I can just restore from my time machine backup. Or I can connect it with a firewire cable and use Disk Utility to restore. Or there are a few other ways to do it to, but the point is, it's easy. But what about the windows partition? Can I image it with Disk Utility too? Once I restore, will it just boot right up just like it would before? I have practically no windows experience so I have no idea how to do this.

Correction. It gave me errors as if it was going to fail. Then quietly proceeded to run anyway. But now I have another issue. So it was an NTFS volume. I backed it up. But disk utility could only make a FAT volume for me to restore on to. How do I make an NTFS volume to restore on to?
