I saw a similar but not duplicate question. Is it possible to use Clonezilla to clone a computer over the network? Now I have to boot into the CD like always, but wondered if it could be done. If it can't what could I use do to it? These are all separate machines. If anything these will work I have access to:

Anything Open Source VMWare Norton Ghost Not sure what else I could use.

edit: The computers I am cloning are Windows 7.

Windows Sysinternals Disk2vhd can clone live Windows systems to a VHD file.

Disk2vhd is a utility that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk - Microsoft's Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs). The difference between Disk2vhd and other physical-to-virtual tools is that you can run Disk2vhd on a system that’s online. Disk2vhd uses Windows' Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted).

I've used VMware Converter to clone a live machine in the past. Free download, give it a shot.
