Windows Vista Business

I bought a new laptop hard disk and would like to clone the existing sys
partition on the new HD. The new HD is a WD Scorpio Black 320 gig, while
the old is a Hitachi 80 gig.

Somehow, in all the messing I do with my computer, bootmgr has landed up on
D: instead of C:.

As a result, Windows wants to image both partitions rather than just C:. Is
there any easy way to move bootmgr so that I can image just C:? Also, I'd
like to partition my disk as 120/180GB with Windows on 120. Will restore
allow me to do something like this or would I need to do it from somewhere
else? Other than this, are there any things I need to look out for in my
situation? I could very easily use Acronis for this, but I want to see how
Vista's imaging solution works as a matter of interest.

Thanks in advance for any help!
