Have a problem.
Have 2 80GB HDD's, each 80GB, that are full.
Bought a 750GB HDD and want to copy each drive to a portion of the big one.
When I use TI2010 to copy the boot drive, it deletes any partitions on the big one, and copies.
Once that's done, I can't figure out how to copy the second logical HDD to the big one.
I mean, I can create the partition, but can't figure out how to get the files on the big one except by XCOPY.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could use TI to create a backup image of the partitions and then restore the partitions to the new drive. Cloning won't work since it will remove existing partitions (you could only clone one drive).

DD could also be used to copy the partitions.
