I was able to copy all the data from one hard drive with two partitions(one is boot) to a bigger boot HD, using acronis true image home soft. but I was unable to clone second HD(one partition) on a same new hard drive(I create 3 partitions on it, using Powerquest partition magic). Next time I would build a new pc from scratch, rather than messing with all this stuff and wasting my time on it. After all, turns out PC, for which i need old IDE HD is dead anyway. i was unable to boot it, no matter what i do. Well spend weekend Thank you for help and useful links!
