Rep Power: 53   | You can use dd to clone and gparted to resize partitions. You could also use Partimage which is more efficient at copying empty blocks than dd.

Rep Power: 106  | I'd get the GParted Live CD and use that. Be very careful that you don't rearrange the partitions and that the new drive goes back in place of the old one, or your fstab won't match the partitions and the bootloader will get upset. |
