Partimage is a linux clone of Partition Magic, Paragon Hard Drive manager and other types of partition manager tools. One really good way to handle this is to download a copy of System Rescue Live CD from http://sysresccd.org burn the ISO to CD and boot up using the CD. That way, none of the hard drive partitions start out as active and you should be able to copy all the partitions from one hard drive directly to the next hard drive, intact and then just boot from either one after it is connected at the same physical location. I think that it even supports copying entire NTFS partitions, it just doesn't allow you to write to NTFS partitions directly without loading up CaptiveNTFS. -- Bryan Phinney
