Hi Armando,
You can get DiscWizard for free. It will copy both FAT and NTFS
partitions (or the whole drive). I have a copy and haven't bothered
to use it since Norton Ghost and DriveClone are my favorites and I
already have them. DiscWizard looks very easy to use and is written
by a company which makes some of the best hard drives. Get it here:

Don't forget to set your C: drive as active (I use Partition Magic
for this) on the second drive if it won't boot after copying (that
is, if you need to boot it later).
