[quote="zcat"]Now im wondering if there is anyway I can do the same thing in blag rather than a crappy windowz program. Migrate a drive to a new one but it has to be able to do it proportionally so that I get all partitions bigger than they were on the original hd as then i know it would work the way I want it to i have tried to do it in windoz and if i just make a straight copy it works but i have the same problems as i had on the old 40gb hd (not enough space on the win C drive and no way of making it bigger) (because of the extended partition, I think) as i said im fairly command line dyslexic so need either very clear instructions or a gui. cheers zcat[/quote]
