 I thouhgt that was courious as I have never made a Clone/Ghost of a
Win(fat file system) Hard Disk that didn't boot. Then I rembembered that
you were most likely talking about LINUX.
IF there is not a way then there is another HUGE down side to LINUX. Do
you have to do a total re-install when you go for a Bigger Hard Drive?"?
