I just finished using Drive Copy to copy from a 60 GB to an 8 GB (the 60 GB is going for repair). I had to use Partition Magic 8 to shrink the 60GB partition to 8GB to fit on the 8GB drive. Then I used Drive Copy 4 to copy the partition. It worked flawlessly: I'm using the 8GB right now.
PS, don't forget to change the jumper on the destination drive to 'master' (and disconnect the source drive) after the copy is done. Drive Copy neglects to tell you to do that, and booting up to a "PLEASE INSERT BOOT DISK TO CONTINUE" message is frightening!
Also, if you're thinking of buying an IBM Deskstar hard drive because you think IBM makes it, think again! It's made by HITACHI! After 10 months the heads jerk around for a second or two every day. Quite unsettling to hear!
