You should be able to just use the Windows startup disk to do this. Boot to the command line prompt and then do an:
XCOPY C: ?: /h/o/t/s/e/r/v
where ?: is the new disk mode letter. (I assume XCOPY will be available on the startup disk)
XCOPY is not on the startup disk. It can be copied over from the \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory to the startup disk. There's something funky about using XCOPY that I can't remember what it is. I been using Drive Copy or Drive Image to move my Win98 partition around.

I take it that the utilities you mention are windows apps ?
Any trial versions about that I can use ?

You can get Demo version only, not trial. What you might want to look at is your hd mans web site. Most mans hd format disk offer an option of coping an existing hd to a different drive. I know that both Maxtor and IBM will do this using DR-DOS. The utilitises are brand specific. IBM will only work if the destination drive is IBM and Maxtor is the same. If you prefer a Linux app you should look at parted. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
