With Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can create a restore CD. Boot your computer using that and provide the backup image. I believe you can also use the Windows installation disc if you have one. They take into consideration that you may not be able to boot into the OS. “The flaw with using any backup app within the primary working OS is what happens if that primary OS becomes unbootable?”

My external enclosure came in Saturday I used clonezilla to copy to the new drive all went well save for the fact it wouldn't boot, I had to use the install disk to repair the new one. I'm not sure what went wrong, Maybe because they were different brand HDDs new one is a Seagate original is branded Toshiba so I don.t know who made it. Thanks for your input, Mike OK guys.

I just used the default setting, which is BartPE. Worked fine for me with Vista 64. Didn't try it with anything else, but it's just restoring an image, so I doubt that's sensitive to the type of OS.

I've used it once as a test and found it works fine to either make or restore an image. Macrium has a boot CD option, too.

That can mean you are unable to get to your application to run a restore. Clonezilla does not require the primary OS to operate since it uses a Live Linux OS. It can also saves the primary OS data to external USB drives. Clonezilla works very well. Highly recommended.
