I need to move my OSes to a different drive. How?

I have a smallish drive (old) and a big one (new)
I want the old drive cleared for backups and other things.
Currently I have ME on dualbooting with 2000. I put 2000 on the end of the drive, and drive letters therefore don't change between the two OSes.
I have the following relevant tools: PartitionMagic6, PQBoot, System Commander.
The only way I see of doing it successfully right now is like imaging the old drive to the new one, then resizing partitions, because of the drive letters in all those files which I do not wish to reinstall! Well, it's better than nothing. Anybody have good experiences with drive remapper in PM6 or have any tips for me? Thanks anyone...

Partition magic has a copy feature where you can move all conents of one partition to another one. I don't think they have to be the same size (not sure, I've never done this myself). You could give it a shot though. If it doesn't work then you still have the OS on the old drive so you really have nothing to loose.
