There are several partition resizing tools available - some probably came with your Linux distribution. They're normally used to shrink a partition to put Linux onto the disk, but they can normally work the other way, too. > would is be easier to manually partition the 60gig disk, then use dd to > copy the boot records from the 6gig to the 60gig, and again use dd to > copy the contents of the partition from the 6gig disk to the 60gig disk? Maybe, although I sure as hell wouldn't be using dd to copy the contents of the partition across. Use cp, cpio, or tar for that. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
