There is a Program that we use at school called "Ghost" i think nortan makes it.... but it makes an image of the disk and you use that hdd and you can copy that image to any number of other hdd. (Note: if you plan on ghosting to over a network to more then 1 at a time you would have to use a program called sysprep to prep the image) for 1 at a time you just make the image and then copy as you go. At the school i work at we use this all the the time all we do is image, we never do individual installs.
