Default Cloning drive; is it better to install system on separate partition?

I am trying to learn how to clone my drive. I have dabbled with it and I see
that the actual image would be 32gig in size. I am wondering what I can do
to make this process smaller? I wonder if I reformatted and put XP on a
separate partition if that would help because right now two clone programs I
have tried both want to copy the hole HDD. I assume that is because I have
everything on one partition.

I have no floppy, so trying to use the disks for boot up is not much of an
option for me unless I can use one of my sd disks in the card reader.

What I want is a full copy of my system, and all the files that install in
the Programs folder. That is all I want. I don't care about anything else,
so it does not seem necessary that I copy the whole drive, which is actually
a 75gig drive.
