For the win95 partition :.
1 - Create another primary partition.
I have already tried to do it with the fdisk of linux but I had messages
like
partition table corrupted
finally I did it with the fdisk of win 95 (fat 16 or 32).
2 - boot linux
create a new mount point for the new partition, mount both partitions
copy the source partition to the target one with the 'cp' command.
3 - add new entry to the lilo.conf
4 - reboot on the new one and that's all.
Less than 30 minutes of work, to did it on an other partition on the same HD.
The only difference for you is that you have another hard drive, and I am not
sure
that you will be able to
boot immediately on your second drive if you don't remove the first one...have
a try.

dd --- diskdump --- is what you want. Byte for byte copying.
AFAIK dd can make the copied data useless, when the target hd isn't
identicaly to the source hd (and with identicaly I mean it: same geometry
and partitioned in the exact same way).
ext2 partitions can easyly moved along with tar, and for swap partitions
it makes no sense to copy them.
vfat/winNT partitions seem to me mor tricky (I've never did that)
