I'd use BootIt NG partition and clone the drive. Get a free demo for the
purpose.

Use the download to make the bootable floppy (or CD) installation disk then
boot to that disk. CANCEL the installation, then use Partition Work to view
drives, repartition, clone partitions to different drive, etc

I just aquired a 60gb drive that I'd like to use to replace the C drive in
a win98 system. I no longer have a working OEM CD, and a generic win98 CD
would not have the proper drivers. I'm thinking of keeping the dying 20gb
drive as a backup.

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
partition, and make the remaining space an extended partition on the new
drive. Then use the old MS-DOS command DISKCOPY to copy the C drive to the
primary partition on the new drive?

If I then hook up the new drive as the C drive, would I expect things to
work perfectly?

I know, the obvious answer is to hook things up with the new drive as a
slave, but I have all four IDE channels tied up, so in order to hook it up
I have to take something out. I'm not even sure if I still have the old
panels for the bays, and I'd lose the functionality of that device.
