OK but then he should have said "If you had..."
To me it looks like he's telling you to partition the drive now, which does not make any sense at all since you obviously have more than 512GB of data on the 2TB drive. Partitioning software does not know where your Windows Folder ends and your My Documents folder begins.
Some partitioning software (such as OS X's built-in Disk Utility) depending on the filesystem of the drive, lets you split off empty space into a new partition. But this functionality is not useful in your case - unless you are prepared to start deleting or moving away stuff until you're down to less than 512GB.
/EDIT actually I think it's possible to clone without partitioning the drive first, with some cloning software. What I mean to say is, if the partition to be cloned is larger than the space available on the target drive, but the actual contents of it are not, then you can still clone it.
