What I'm referring to is ... `dd` the drive image from a smaller
partition to a larger partition ... now the problem is the larger
partition thinks it is the same size as the smaller one. There had
been a thread at one point of some commands to recover the lost space
... for both Linux and MSWin as I (seem to) remember.
Doug, you might take a look at the resize2fs command. You use it in
conjunction with resizing partitions. In your case it looks like you
could just expand the file system in the larger partition so it "fills"
the larger partition.
