You will have to copy the partitions one at a time, instead of all at once, but that should not be a problem. You can also use something like the System Rescue CD to copy partitions. http://www.sysresccd.org/ You may need boot from a DOS floppy and run "fdisk /mbr" to get the system to boot, and you will need to make sure Windows partition is marked as "active" or "bootable".
