Maybe I'm just misunderstanding, but I think you're wrong here. In the old days disk imaging may have done bit for bit clones, but these days they use compression, and they ignore empty spaces on the disk. So they have no trouble copying a partition to a different size disk. i.e., Last week I 'restored' my Vista 50gb partition to a brand new 75gb partition. It does not look like a 50gb partition to the OS.
