Clonezilla which was featured in October's Issue of Linux Pro Magazine is
what I would recommend as a liveCD for Cloning Drives. It uses ntfsclone
when it can and dd if necessary.

http://clonezilla.org/

The liveCD is debian based.

I used it recently to image a bunch of XP machines and it worked really
well. We also used it to clone a very very old SUSE box that was used as a
print server for a Risograph. Current version of ghost was completely
messing up the partition table but clonezilla worked fine.
