Bit-for-bit copy of hard drive in Windows?

There is a hard drive in a laptop. I need to clone it (preferably bit-for-bit) onto another hard drive. Is there any possible way I could do that? w/o installing software on the computer

Some drive imaging software, like the Acronis True Image (a commercial product), will allow you to create a bootable CD/DVD that can accomplish the task.

Clonezilla and ReDO Backup & Recovery have live cds, which can be run without installing software... you can clone directly to another hd or to a file to be restored later. Your new hd must be the same size or bigger.
