I am not going to deal with the PC Help type questions here, but I
will steer you to WinFiles' Backup utilities page:
http://winfiles.cnet.com/apps/98/backup.html
If you will go down the listings there, you will see that several of
the backup utilities do facilitate backups from one hard drive to
another.
