Thanks Gregrocker and WHS for your tips. I had the old partition as a primary partition on the old drive. So I created a new primary ptn on another drive and just copied all the files (which, I think, ends up de-fragging them in the process because the copy will be sequential within each file), chaned drive letters and re-booted. It's all doner and working fine.
You're right that I didn't want to play with logical or dynamic ptns. The limit of 4 primaries on a drive is OK for me.
