Wits is trying to do this with win2k and bob and I failed to get it to
work last weekend.  We used partimage because --unlike dd--it does not
image empty space.  So after restoring a 4 gig partition which was only
a 1.5G file into a larger partition all the data was fine.

we used qtparted to resize the 4G partition up to the 9 gigs available.

the problem was we could not get it to boot.  The ntboot loader seemed
to be missing.  I think the bootloader goes into the first sector of the
windows partition.  correct?  perhaps partimage did not back that up.
There is an option called
  * restore MBR from partition
but we're not sure what that does.  I told bob to try it again and use
that option.
