Very light weight and has both command line and lightweight X utils
(including GParted available). It has saved me many times.

Just as an aside on this. I recently downloaded and tried Clonezilla,
G4Linux, and the SystemRescueCD to attempt to move a 40 Gig Partition
that was only about half full- to a 30 gig drive or so. None of them
would let me clone that partition to the drive because of the space
mismatch. This is

I have several of the KingWin hard drive adapters if you would like to
borrow one. Depending on the age of the system and ability to juggle, it
might help to have the IDE/SATA -- USB link. Just offering, no biggie.

For a parallel situation in linux, I fixed it by moving most of the
user's files to the second partition and symlinking to it from his
homedir. It was transparent to the user, made use of the big empty
partition, and was dead simple. It seems like you ought to be able to
do something

Here is a me, too story to add to the archives.
I bought a Dell Mini 10 with XP Home installed on a 160gb drive. I spent
quite a while installing apps, data, music, etc. and found myself running
out of space.
I purchased a new 500gb sata drive so I could move all the data from the

I'm a big fan of Gparted for projects like this. You can very easily and
quickly resize that second partition to be smaller, then resize the first
partition to be larger. One boot and you can do it all from there.

I've also used the Ultimate boot CD, but found that it lacked SATA
