Best way to move Windows 7 installation to another HD

I have both hard drives installed in my PC.

I have stuff on HD2 that I want to keep there whilst moving a Windows 7 installation from HD1.

Help thanks.

Macrium reflect (free) is excellent.

Won't these delete the files on HD2 that he wants to keep?

Yeah that's true. Would need to backup the files first then restore after imaging the drive.

Yeah that's exactly what I want to avoid.

Is there any software that will not erase the entire drive i.e. just needs an unformatted partition?

<edit>

Just checked clonezilla again and it seems it does it by partition.

So I will create a separate partition before I run clonezilla!
