I have a machine with a dual boot, XP and 7. XP resides on 1 physical disk and has 3 partitions, 7 on the other disk and it has the rest. Is it possible to do disk cloning onto say 1 single 1TB drive, where it will copy the contents of both physical source disks and put it onto the 1 target disk?

I didn't know how to do the above so instead I cloned the defective drive only. But now with the new drive substituting for the old one, it won't boot. Is there a way to reconstruct a boot menu if you have 2 intact OS?
