It seems that if you have Windows installed on both drives and you are migrating to a newer (perhaps larger) one, then you don't want all the contents; just the important data you have saved. Get the system up and running on the new drive (or the 40GB one if I misunderstood your question), then attach the older drive(s) and Windows will automatically pick them up as additional storage drives. Copy what you need and you're set... no having to create an image and restoring it to another drive.
