The Copy feature in PartitionMagic is designed to copy existing partitions to unpartitioned, unformatted free space (unallocated space) that is the same size or larger than the partition being copied. (Unallocated space is displayed as a gray bar in the graphical partition map in PartitionMagic.) The copy feature is dimmed if there is not enough contiguous unallocated space on the drive to copy any of the existing partitions. To enable the Copy feature, create unallocated space by either resizing existing partitions and moving them around to consolidate the unallocated space, or delete a partition you do not need.
