Simply create a new partition and copy the contents. Use cp -r /
path /mounted/new/path/
If you have to use dd then create a partition exactly the same size
then gparted can grow it afterwards

I've been thus far unable to do to - maybe you can explain how.
for example, if i do a dd from a 120Gb to a 150Gb and then enter into
something like gparted or fdisk there seems to be no way i can simply
expand the disk beyond the original 120Gb boundaries. If there was
unformatted/unpartitioned space within that 120Gb then things can be
moved around there but not outside the original disk boundaries.

from my experience when you use dd you cannot resize after that
because it's made an exact bit by bit clone of that hard drive
which you then can resize with the numerous partition resizing
tools out
there.
if you're concerned about how much you're downloading use parted
magic, much smaller than ubuntu and includes both gparted and
clonezilla all in one
