Partition Magic will only copy a partition to unallocated space. Resize a partition, or two, to get a contiguous area of free space that is a little bit larger than the partition you wish to copy. You can then use Copy from the Actions drop-down menu. I am assuming that you have made the two rescue disks and are using them to boot to the DOS version of Partition Magic. If not, you can create them from the the utility provided in the Partition Magic folder in the Windows Start Menu.

I am assuming you want to do this in DOS and that you have divided your hard drive to C: and D: with partition magic. XCOPY C: D: /S is the DOS command.
