Can I backup and then restore bootcamp partitions onto a new drive?

[Kadath]

I have a macbook with the tiny hard disk in it. Just bought a 160GB drive to replace it. Problem is I have a bootcamp partition I wanna keep when moving to this new drive. Can I use SuperDuper to back up BOTH my osx and windows partitions, swap drives and then restore from an external drive to the new disk?

Perhaps this'll help, Sam:

yes that is very helpful, thanks!

If I dont have a bootable Firewire disk can I make an external usb disk I have bootable?

If you've got an Intel Mac, yes -- assuming it's properly partitioned (using the GUID partition scheme).
