   cp -a /mnt/c/* /mnt/e/   
      
   of course you need to change the mount point names to the ones that is   
   used (do a: ls /mnt )   
      
   this will of course not fix the mbr, so you won't be able to boot into   
   the microsoft install, you should run a repair install from the   
   microsoft cd.   
      
      
   There are other tools you can use for "copy", like dd, unison, rsync,   
   tar and so on...
