[SLE] HDD Upgrade

I have SUSE 10.1 installed on a machine here with a 40G HDD. I have just received a new 80GB drive. I want to replace the 40G that is partition as follows: Dell partition, /boot partition, swap partition and / (root). I have imaged the machine (used systemrescuecd) and copied everything to the new HDD and resizing the / partition using qtparted to include the free space. I disconnected the old HDD and booted with the new drive and the system is up and running. However, when I do a df -h it still shows the / partition at about 36G.

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4 36G 5.2G 31G 15% /
udev 506M 184K 506M 1% /dev
/dev/hda3 502M 40M 463M 8% /boot

I've never done this before, so am I missing a step here? What do I need to do to get the / partition to recognize it is now larger?

Thanks,
Brian
