Sorry, I was thinking under Linux PM has been able to do it under windows for yonks. Yeah. Last time I looked, the tools couldn't really handle NTFS under linux. What would you use now, for *my* future reference? -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
That would still be useful if I could then repartition the rest -- 8 GB is enough for a Windows C partition (until Vista comes along, anyway), you just need enough discipline to put as much cruft as possible in another partition. I was worried that the new disk would "think" it was only 8 GB, and thus lose the other 150-odd.

Indeed so. My windoze boxen have three partitions OTW. Windows, Apps and Data. Do a dd then use Partition magic to add another partition(s) in the empty space under XP. I was worried that the new disk would "think" it was only No, the BIOS and disc (and indeed low level OS) will know the correct size, only 8G will be usable. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Acronis true image 10, you can select various partitions to copy across and whether to use the whole disc as one partition or copy the existing partition size across. You can make the rest of the disk active (set as an active partition) from within windows file manager. Brian Day
It gets better each version - seems to have more useful features and not just extra bloat. I'm sticking with ver8 for a while yet - it does all I need it to.
