>> buy another 2.5" laptop hard drive and a thin sata to usb enclosure.
>> then use casper to clone your drive to the second hard drive as it is

>> then uninstall everything you have to in order to comply with the testing

>> after the test, swap the hard drives as the new one will most likely have
>> much more capacity and you could then use the original smaller drive in 
>> the
>> usb enclosure for extra storage.
>> the new drive and enclosure will cost about $80.
