After migrating my BBS over to the OS/2 machine, I have noticed that the
primary HD sounds like its days are numbered.  It is making some racket that
it should not.
 
So, I would like to move the system to another drive.  Basically, the PC
has two physical drives, one split into boot mgr, C:, and E:, and the other
drive is D:.  I want to move D: and E: to a new drive, and then make the
second (D:) the primary, and move C: to it.
 
Can this be done without reinstalling OS/2?  I had many problems with the
install, so I am hoping to avoid doing it again.  Is there some sort of
mirrordir program, like there is for linux, that will allow me to copy the
whole drives over to their new locations?
 
Also, what do you do to back your system up?  I looked into BACKUP, which
apparently only works with floppies or empty drives, and some of the offerings
on Hobbes.  Backup My Way (DrBMW) does not work here, but I have not tried
the others yet.  Figured I'd ask here, and then expect to do this next
weekend, instead of this one.  ;-)
