It will, I've done it myself. The main disadvantages are that you can only resize the last partition,and it is very slow (because dd copies every byte of the source drive, not jut the ones in use). Although I have used this method, I wouldn't do it again, I'd set up the partitions, copy with rsync and run grub to install it on the new drive. -- Neil Bothwick Error reading FAT record: Try the SKINNY one?
