Uh, you basically want to restore a partition image into a bigger
partition? In that case, just write the image to the partition and leave
the rest as it is. In order to extend the filesystem to the whole
partition, you need to alter fs metadata, so dd is the wrong tool for
that - you might want to have a look at resize2fs or so.
Sorry in case I got you totally wrong.
everybody thanks for the help and info with this..
as for the issue I will try the suggestions above to see where it takes
me. altering the fs metadata is what needs to happen because once the
file is uploaded to the block of memory the target wont work unless the
file is prepared properly(whitespace at the end of the file breaks the
target when it reads that block of memory with the info).
cheers!
