Partitions do not change size during copy. The only issue is that the
target space must be as large as the source - or maybe one sector larger
depending on the copy tool.

Relative position can effect drive letters. Absolute position has no
effect. Once the partition is on the new drive you can resize it and
slide it within it's space.

If you want an exact clone of the drive use DFSEE copy disk-to-disk. If
you want one partition at a time so you can resize, use PM 6.
