Spooky! Mine is licensed. I just boot the floppy, start ghost and select: local:disk to disk, select the two physical drives and hit Go.
The first time I installed Ghost it put a load of garbage on the drive but I just put the executable onto floppy and got rid of the rest. Have not seen any other options to resize. Mind you I never read the instructions...do you run from boot disk or windows gui?

Are you using the OEM version that is sometimes bundled with new machines, or the fully licensed version? With mine I can and have cloned a small disk to a larger one and chosen the new partition sizes individually as part of the process. No problem.
