Is it possible to temporarily disconnect the ZIP drive I haven't used in
over a year and install the new drive as a slave, make a 20gb primary

the primary partition on the new drive?

It should be possible. I've copied everything except the swapfile from
an active system drive to a backup. There might be a problem copying
files such as SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT depending on the copy program you
use. XCOPY might do the job. I used a homemade copy program with a
very relaxed input file open which is the only way I could access some
files. There is also a program called XXCOPY (freeware) which might
help here.
