g4u will do this for you without a problem. It's a sector by sector copy, so you'll be able to pull the old drive and place the new drive as the master (assuming IDE) and life will be good. > I would also like to copy from the source drive, to the target drive, > but expand the target drive's partitions so that all 3 partitions are > equally sized (roughly 12 gb each * 3 partitons is about the true size > of the target drive. You'll need to go third party for this piece. Once g4u copies the drive, you can utilize commercial ware like Partition Magic or open source with something like qtparted on the Knoppix Live CD. Here's a URL that talks a bit about the latter. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-resize-windows-partition-with-open-source-software.html Here's a link to Knoppix as well. http://knoppix.net/ Hope this helps. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
