Hypothetical (or not) scenario. Let's say I have 2 drives, each with 2
partitions. They're fairly small in GB, and are out of room. So I would
like to move them to one larger drive. One drive has windows on it, the
other has Suse. The windows drive has a recovery partition on it, and an
NTFS partition. I know I can use dd, but would windows still see it as a
19GB partition instead of 30 GB? I was thinking I could use tar, or Ghost,
or maybe even those disk copy utilities that often come with new drives.
Anyone have a better way, or a suggestion on how to proceed? I also know
that when completed I need to fix the master boot record. How would I go
about doing that?
