My question: Is how do I get that cloned material back on a newly installed HD(in the case of a failure or when I simply install a larger one)?
If it is a desktop computer just install the new drive as there should be room for another drive in the case. Clone C: drive directly to that one. Shut down, remove the old drive and plug the cable that was in the old drive into the new one. If it is cable select you are done if not then set the drive jumpers to make it a Primary. Fire it up and it should come up.
