What sucks about Ycopy is that it doesn't copy the files that are currently being used. It just skips them.
I'd recommend using robocopy which is available as a part of Windows Resource Kit in Win7. Simple robust command that copies everything. In addition, it could be set up as a task through a batch file.
The OP meant drag/drop. Like when you're copying a file from one folder to another using Windows Explorer.

why not just use the windows 7 backup?
Control Panel\System and Security\Backup and Restore
click "create a system image"
it takes like 20-30 mins. It What i use.

all of them are prob going to be the same amount of time. it depends on your harddrive. Just be patient. The faster it goes gives it a high risk of error

One thing i hate about my hardrive is i have a semi corrupt ntfs file system, and am too lazy to reformat. It is wierd cause my computer boots and works fine, but whenever i need to run something that requires strictly ntfs (eg windows backup) the hardrive stalls for a minute or two then resumes whatever it is doing. sometimes the applications time out because the hdd stalled too long. i know i need to reformat, but i dont want to take the time to make an image using something else of a 600gb disk (yes i do have backups incase of failures). I could have gone with raid, but at the time hdds were way too expensive!
