Free software or advice for quick drive cloning?

Basically I'm gonna clone my Win 7 250Gb drive to a 750Gb drive, then make the 250 FAT32 for my PS3.

At the moment it looks like I'll be connecting the 750 via USB in a caddy... Has anyone any experience with Windows' backup utility (will it even clone a drive?), or can you recommend any free software that doesn't need an image CD etc?

So far I've read about DriveImage XML, Runtime's Shadow Copy, and XXClone. Anyone recommend them or know of better?

Seems to need faffing about with an image unless I'm missing something, I just want something a bit more direct since there will be other faffing around this operation
