Angry paragon drive copy ........ any users??

This is driving me over the edge.
I'm moving a 70G drive onto a 250G drive.
Paragon keeps making a partition to the exact size of the copied information onto the 250G drive.
I've tried the different options on the 'copy panel' of the program including the one that says "ignore partitions".
If anybody has experience please jump in.

Yep, I just had to do the extra work after making the drive copy, then go to the new drive and REMOVE partition.
Sorta sucks that the design engineers made the program work in such a STUPID manner.
Like what is the point of copying a hard drive if you are going to limit the new drive size to the same or less than the old drive?
Somebody needs to send a big 'dopeslap' icon to paragon engineers.

There are reasons for the limitations in the program however you can resize the partition after it was copied over - of course you need to keep a backup because anytime you resize a partition there is a risk of data loss. (Although I personally have never seen this happen and I've resized partitions many times).
