[H-GEN] Coping one h/d to another

[David]

Hi All....ive seen the answer to this one before but cant seem to find 
the answer......i have hda drive set up with a Win XP primary partition 
which has gone belly up.....the Extended partition has Mandriva Linux 
2006 in 3 partitions hda5 /boot hda6 Swap and hda7 /.......it is these 3 
partitions that i want to copy to hdb which has hdb1 /boot hdb2 Swap and 
hdb3 / setup on it.....have looked at the Upgrade H/D Mini HOW TO but am 
a little confused.....
have tried to recover the primary partition but would have to writ a new 
partition table on the disk an that would loose all data..
Any help appreciated
