I was examining the WinHEX software and downloaded the trial version. The trial version does not seems to work for my particular situation, so I was wondering if purchasing the software would cure the problem of my situation and what flavor of the software would I need.

My situation is this. I have a 256MB CF that is partitioned into 3 logical drives. The first is readable when viewed through a CF USB converter and Windows XP. The other two partitions are not readable via Windows. I would like to make an exact duplicate of the source CF with the three partitions (same partition sizes) and data from each partition. Can the WinHEX software make a destination CF with the three partitions of same sizes and data copied from the three source partitions to the three destination partitions?

If you can open the 256 MB CF card as a physical medium in WinHex and access/read/view all its sectors, then all of these sectors can also be copied to another such card of the same size or larger, with the full version (any license type). Then you get an exact sector-wise duplicate.

Two of the three partitions are unmounted. Is there any way to duplicate the unmounted partitions and their contents to the destination CF?

Yes, if you open the CF card in WinHex as a physical medium, like I said.

I would like to clone a 2GB CF card being used as the main HD (Win XP OS) to a larger memory CF card. What do I have to purchase to clone the 2GB CF card to a 4GB CF card?

Please refrain from cross-posting.

You would need a software to image or clone such media (e.g. WinHex) and a partition resizing tool such as PartitionMagic.
