OK, now I'm stuck.

I want to copy bad drive C to good drive D. I want D to be bootable so that after copying, I can just remove C, make D a master, the new C.

In this case C and D are pretty much identical drives. In the past, I've done this with Partition Magic. But now, PM refuses to do it because it finds bad sectors on C.

I guess I could copy C to an external, put D in place as the new C, install XP to C, and then copy everything from the external to C. But isn't there a better way?
