Imaging stores the partition table, which means it also stores the size
of your partitions. Somewhere on your drive you have 40GB of unused
space. You don't just "get a larger partition" by installing a new
drive - you have to partition it to be the size you want it to be. i
recommend doing a full (clean) install on your new drive,
repartitioning it as you want. However, 30GB+ is overkill for the root
partition. In general 10GB is all you'll ever need in a root partition.
Put the rest of the space in /home (or, even better, put /home on a
second drive - your old 40GB drive).
