Like in the blog did you have to use the gparted CD (or other CD with
gparted, e.g. Ubuntu) to resize the filesystem?

Windows has some nice features when it comes to cloning:

1) the boot partition is (usually) the first
2) the partition (usually) takes up the entire drive, i.e. there is only one
3) there is no swap partition.  Windows uses a swapfile.
4) the boot partition is marked active
5) the boot loader in the MBR is simple: find first active partition
and chainload it.

In contrast, Linux is a bit more versatile, which makes cloning a bit
more challenging.  Have you (or anyone else on this list) tried
Clonezilla with a linux install, e.g. a standard Ubuntu install or
Fedora, which uses LVM?
