Yes.

I set my PC up exactly how I wanted it with all the applications and etc I needed and copied it onto a DVD so when it all goes tits up its easy to swap it over in dos.

Ask Huw tho, he does PC's for a living.

Sometimes it wont boot from the new drive after you've cloned it, on occasion we've have to use commands like fix/mbr from the XP/2k recovery console to get it to boot from it.
