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.

agreed. try using the "clone disk" feature on acronis ti. it's on hirens 9.8, available in many "bays".
