Gary, my own personal preference is logical drive simplicity, and two is
enough for me to deal with (despite the wasted space, slack, efficiency,
etc, which I am aware of).

However, my questions still stand, as written below. Was I correct in
what I wrote? Let me edit it a bit:

I've got a copy of BootItNG, but have never run it. That would be
great.
Or the utilities that come with the new drive, if they can do it (as
Richard
suggested).

So let me be very specific he if I currently have a 40 GB HD, divided
into two partitions, I can image it over to a new 80 GB drive, and be
able
to select the new partition sizes? No, that doesn't sound right -
imaging should only make an exact copy of the original drive. So maybe
what happens is it images over the 40 GB, and leaves the rest of the
drive
(the other 40 GB) unused) Then later I could resize the partitions to
use the entire drive?

That is where I'm a bit confused - as to what is really possible, with
imaging and BootItNG.
