I have added a 250GB SATA drive partitioned into W: & X:.
Would like to move OS and programs from C: to the W: partition on the
SATA
drive.
I have Acronis True Image v10 and have gone through the help files but I
can
only see how to clone the whole drive to another whole drive, not clone
the
active partition only to another partition.
Am I missing something here?
Any advice appreciated.


I do not know Acronis software - I usually use BootIt from
http://terabyteunlimited.com/ . The problem may be that partition
should be copied to free space on another drive. Try BootIt - IMO it's
much easier to use.

BootIt NG is definitely not easier to use than TrueImage. I use both and
have used BootIt NG since it was first released. In fact I may have been one
of the first people to purchase a copy of it. While it may be one of the
most stable partitioning tools on the market it is certainly not for the
faint at heart. On the other hand True Image is very easy to use. Just clone
the drive.
