Robocopy is a copy utility that is included with the recent versions of Windows (it was previously a resource kit tool that you needed to download). It will copy your files and the ACLs when certain switches are enabled.

To copy an entire folder tree with security from the old drive to the new drive, you would run the following command from a command prompt or powershell window with Administrator rights:

Robocopy \\source \\destination /MIR /SEC /ZB
