    Copy entire drive?

    Fbackup is a great program for doing file backups. Just select the entire drive, use the mirror option, and it will just copy everything.

    Copy entire drive?

    I need to copy the contents of an entire drive over to another one. Cloning applications aren't working for me because the source drive is larger than the destination drive (the amount of data actually present will fit on the destination drive no problem, however).

    I've tried xcopy and robocopy, but xcopy fails evidently because some file names are too long, and robocopy fails because it can't copy some protected system files.

    Copy entire drive?

    Nortons Ghost always worked for me - as long as drive is not in bad shape (it will ask to skip bad sector )
    Just select Drive to Drive -you wont have to worry about your partition being too big it will copy data and make partition on new drive same size as the data
    You will need to mark the drive as an active boot drive after though - in Disk management ( if a bootable drive)

    Another gem is Acronis products

    If the drive is in too bad shape , would copy files over with killcopy and ask to skip files on error or manually skip on error

    Active@ boot- have some great tool which should work fine
