Newer versions of SystemImager allow you to use disks of different sizes (3.0.x and newer). I would recommend installing the latest SystemImager. If you still have your golden client, then you can just capture the image again, and it will automatically be setup to restore to a larger disk.
If you no longer have your golden client, you should still upgrade to the latest SystemImager on your image server. After the upgrade, run "mkautoinstallscript". This will convert your current partitionschemes file to a new autoinstallscript.conf file. This will ultimately result in an autoinstallscript that should allow you to use your larger disk easily. If your first install attempt succeeds in the imaging, but fails to boot properly, you may also need to upgrade the systemconfigurator package in your image. You can do this with a "chroot /path/to/my/image", then use your package management tools do do your package update. Install instructions here: http://www.systemimager.org/download/ I recommend using the "./install --tag devel" to get our current release candidate, if you are using an rpm based system.
