I've successfully copied Win98 using xcopy32 in a dos box - provided
any anti-virus etc. software has been disabled beforehand. (Failing to
do so prevents xcopy32 copying the files the anti-virus is using,
leading to a failure later, at bootup.)

My experience with Ranish Partition Manager is not so positive - a
partition was unreadable after being copied.

The (Russian) Paragon Partition Manager gave a useable copy but was
slow.
