Just as an aside on this. I recently downloaded and tried Clonezilla,

I have several of the KingWin hard drive adapters if you would like to

might help to have the IDE/SATA -- USB link. Just offering, no biggie.

Howard,
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

I use Hiren's quite a bit for the hardware testing tools. Some are
outdated, but those of us 'resurrecting' older systems can still find
those tools useful.

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.
