HDD Cloning - non-logical drives
Does anyone have any experience with this?

I need to clone part of a HDD into another larger HDD. These drives are NOT logical Windows drives. The drives DO show up under Disk Management; however, the format of the data is proprietary and I CANNOT write ANYTHING to the source HDD (including turning it into a logical drive) at all as that wrecks the data.

Anyone know any good software that can do this trick, as well as any pointers?

Sure... don't do it through Windows.

I would suggest you get Hiren's Boot CD and use one of the many cloning softwares on it, such as Acronis True Image.
