Looking for somebody to clone me their hard drive

[rnrjong]

Might be a stretch, but can anyone clone me their hard drive? I'll send you the hard drive and reimburse you for the return shipping? All u got to do is waste a hour or two of your life. That's all I'm offering

Admin note: Split this off into its own thread.

Realistically, this probably has as much chance as POTUS putting down his smartphone and permanently getting off of Twitter.

It's not as simple as you might think. For one, this person's personal files would have to be scrubbed from the copy. Or that if they have some licensed software, it would probably have to be uninstalled. Is there something preventing you from installing a fresh copy of the OS from the factory restore disks? It's usually much easier to copy and ship the restore disks. Cheaper still, if your benefactor can simply post the .ISO images and you download them yourself (assuming you have access to a good broadband connection and a way to burn optical disks).
