Parted magic isn't a program, it's a Linux live media that provide
common tools. The OP asked for a progress bar, when copying a HDD.

If the OP would use a file browser to copy root directories recursive,
possible for Linux installs, when coping a Linux that doesn't run, by
another Linux, then there likely would be a progress bar. Assumed the OP
needs to make a Windows backup, than the OP anyway is lost, since even
dd'ing a Windows wouldn't support to install it on another machine, only
restoring to the same machine is possible.

I don't know this, but

"I am a software-engineer with a background in DOS, OS/2

  and Windows-NT/XP system programming, system integration

  networking, communications and WEB technology as well as

  embedded programming on several hardware platforms." -

is enough for me to avoid it.
