copy a hard disk w/2 partitions to new hard disk?

Hello, I really like the idea of Ultimate Boot CD. As an IT person this will definitely come in handy for me, and the price could not be better!
However, the first task I have for it would be hard disk copy. I am wondering if someone can tell me if there is a utility in it that will allow me to copy a smaller (~40 GB drive) that is divided into two partitions onto a larger (80 GB drive).
I know that clone maxx and disk copy can do it, but they copy the partitions to the exact same size and leave the rest of the new disk unallocated. Since I wish to gain more usable space by using a larger disk, this isn't what I want. And free partition resizing tools can only resize the primary partition, not the extended one.
So I am wanting both my first partition (primary) and second (extended) to be approximately twice the size they are currently.
The operating system is Windows Server 2003 on NTFS file system. Thanks!!!
