Linux Project Partition Logic - http://visopsys.org/partlogic/index.html Partition Logic is a free hard disk partitioning and data management
tool. It can create, delete, format, and move partitions and modify their
attributes. It can copy entire hard disks from one to another. http://zeleps.com/ http://www.computeractive.co.uk/partitionmanager/index http://www.computeractive.co.uk/hdmanager8/index http://www.pcinspector.de/clone-maxx/uk/welcome.htm http://www.ranish.com/part/ Raw Copy - http://www.roadkil.net/ " This program copys a disk as a raw image from one drive
directly to another. This utility is designed for people who have faulty drive
and want to transfer the data directly to another drive without doing a file by
file copy. This saves the need for operating system re-installs and allows
drives with an unknown file system to be copied (including from console game
machines, data recorders, mac etc). The program has a built in data recovery
function which will attempt to recover data from bad sectors to ensure all the
available data is restored from the drive. This program is designed to run under
NT/XP/2000 or later operating systems. It will run under windows 95/98/Me
operating systems but only windows logical drives can be copied."
