XCLONE Question

I have Win98 on a system. You can use the freeware program XCLONE (ZDNET) to clone a hard drive, which I have used about 20 times and never had a problem with it. But that was with a drive with no extra partitions. Say for instance, I want to clone a drive. The original drive, for a moment I move to the slave(set up in BIOS too), I set the new drive to master (check in BIOS) and fdisk(with no extra partitions) and then format /s it. Okay, I then move the original drive back to master, and set the new drive to slave(both on same data cable). Okay compuetr boots and all is okay. The original drive is C and then I have partition on that same drive called drive D and the new hard drive is called drive E. Now, if i wanted to use XCLONE to clone the original drive with the extra partition to the new hard drive, is this the right command: XCLONE C: D: E: I know that on a drive with no extra partitions the command is XCLONE C: D: With this command XCLONE C: D: E: Will all the data be copied over? Remember, on the new drive I do not have an extra partition set up, just one. Please help anyone? Will move D: E: move a partition from one drive to another drive without losing any information?
