[plug] "Ghosting" drives

[Adam Ashley]

Or if your not quite as confident about your abilities not to screw up
all your data, get a copy of the latest knoppix cd boot up and run
qtparted. parted is a linux equivelant of partition magic and qtparted
is a partition magic look-a-like gui interface for it. It can also
handle the enlarging of the filesystem in the same step as copying, if
your going to a larger disk
