Can you ghost a hard drive to a partion?

I want to take my C: drive (18 Gb SCSI) and my F: drive (36 Gb SCSI)
and transfer them to one 250 Gb SATA drive. It would be nice if I just
ended up with one 250 Gb C: drive, but I don't see a way to do that
easily. My C drive is essentially just the OS, the F drive is my data
drive, and where I install everything.

So, I'm thinking of just taking the new drive and partitioning it to a
40 Gb C partion, with the rest being my F drive. That being said, can
I use Ghost 2003 to go from my current hard drives to their respective
partitions on the new drive?

Yes. If you have both drives connected you can just image directly from
partition to partition.
