I would rather grab a copy of Hiren's BootCD 9.2 -

It is an extremely useful boot CD (ala MiniPE without the livecd windows gui). It boots extremely fast, and it should work for what you are looking for. There are a number of cloning utilities on it to choose from. Even a barebones copy of Ghost, and the live CD portion of Acronis for imaging and restoration.
