The XP image is most important, as it has tons of programs that vista doesent support, and data that i use daily. The Vista can be dumped and reinstalled if required.
So i guess I need to know my best and easiest options. Thanks again!

The biggest problem is installing a cloned system to another computer. You are violating the terms of the EULA and are commiting PIRACY. On top of that you have a possibility of damaging the computer as in a cloned system the drivers are preinstalled and can damage the hardware....the second issue here is that hardware will not pass the activation check and not install properly!
