I ended up doing a fresh install as I didn't have much in my Qubes anyways and I didn't have space for a backup.

Doing a fresh install of Qubes on your new HDD. Restored your backuped VMs ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I suspect it'll be cleaner to take the second option and install 4.0 on the new drive when it comes out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Make sure you do a backup first. You might be able to "cheat" and DD the small drive to the larger then expand, as long as you're comfortable with LVM.
