Moving OS Partition info.

[VOTER HUMAN]

I have a 300G HD, with a 20G partition and 2 more large partitions
which I'd been using mostly for photo storage. My other drive is a 40G
drive with 2 partitions of equal size, the first has XP SP2 and the
second has odds n ends. I'm afraid the small one is on it's last legs
as it has some bad sounds more and more often. Before it dies how can
I transfer the C partition with XP to the newer larger drives 20 G
partition which is almost empty or will be empty? TYIA

Thanks for the info. However if I read this correctly the end result
will be overwriting the entire small drive onto the larger one and
lossing all on the large drive??????????
I only want to install C from the small drives partition onto the
large drives open 1st partition. TYIA
