Cloning does replace anything on the target drive, so one has to be careful, but imaging replaces nothing, simply creates a compressed image of the source drive.

I use Acronis and the destination drive (mine is 250 Gb) has to be completely empty and/or erased prior to cloning. I only clone a 40 Gb HD on this 250 Gb, sheesh.
george, I'm still confused about image and clone differences. Why one and not the other? Why have a choice of both, what difference does it make?
