Cloning one single partition

[Brolskoff]

I have a 500GB disk with 250GB + 250 GB extended partitions for datas only
How can i clone ONE 250GB partition on a second HD with the same layout
and with ONE 250GB free space: i do'nt have min. 100GB free to make a backup (and then a restore) on another partition
Anyway, direct cloning will be also faster than a backup, and after that a restore
To now, i'm using drive image 6 or drive image 7 to do so
Is ATI able to clone directly one partition?
