Don't some of these tools have the ability to clone the entire disk, not
just a partition at a time? I haven't used any tools for a while, but I
thought Ghost could do that. With that type of a clone you'd end up
with partition sizes on the target exactly as they were on the source,
so you may have to resize some of them to use up the extra space on the
larger target drive.

Other discussion groups on the web suggest that the "hiding" of the partition is done at a very low level on the disk, just so that no standard tool can erase it (to keep the user from destoying it). With all tools I've tried the disk simply seems to be smaller than its 60G size, because of the predesktop area.
