Cloning a drive

I was wondering what you fellas think is the best drive cloning software.

 

And also,
Here's my situation.

 

I have 2 hard drives: 

1 350 gb drive

1 1tb drive.

 

The 350 has my OS on it and also some misc. apps.

My 1tb has 200gb of steam games on it.

 

My friend needs a hard drive to get his computer running so i told him he could have my 350gb drive.

So the question is, can i move everything from the 350gb drive to the 1tb drive without deleting everything on the 1tb drive?

I have some disk cloning software but it told me it would format the 1tb drive before cloning.

 

Thanks for any help

 

 

EDIT:

Im running windows 8

Couldn't you use Disk Management to shrink the volume on the 1TB drive, then create a 350gb partition and use clonezilla to restore the 350gb to the new partition on the 1TB Disk?

The answer is 42.
Oh, wait, you mean to tell me you need to know the question now?
Well, I can't answer that.

Yah thats a good idea, sadly it has nothing to do with my question.
