you might be able to go the old hotserv way if you hurry...

add the new drive and boot off of emergency OS/2 boot diskettes... then

XCOPY /H/O/T/S/E/R/V c: x:

that'll copy everything over... i believe the only other thing you need to do 
after that is to put the system on the new drive with the sysinst command... i 
think i got that right...

you might also try DFSEE and clone the partition to the new drive... i did this 
recently but my boot drive was not bootable so i was mainly after my data 
drives... i used the trial version booting off floppy and saved some 80G of 
stuff across four or five partitions... that is when i moved to eCS a few 
months back on the main server box...
