Moving stuff on one hd to a partition on another hd.

I got a new computer and i made a 40 gig partition on it for storage...what i want to do is copy over a 20 gig partition from my old computer into that 40gig partition...what software can do this easily? Also the old data is on a 20 gig FAT32 partition, the new one is a 40gig NTFS partition.

I don't understand, can't you just put the old drive in and copy it all over?

Use Window Sys Manager or Partition Magic to convert it to NTFS and then it can be Copied, Copy/Cut n Pasted, or Ghosted over.

I know i can always copy and paste it over, but is that a good idea for like 20 gigs of stuff? Would ghost be a better option?

I've Copied n Pasted up to 40 gigs to my External Firewire HD with no problems before and it's more secure when in NTFS mode.
Ghost is faster but either will work.
