Nathaniel http://superuser.com/users/7902 2009-10-30T21:34:57Z 2009-10-30T21:59:04Z <p>I've got a 10 GB ext3 partition, a ~512 MB linux-swap partition, and a 45.4 GB NTFS partition. I have GRUB doing my bootloading.</p> <p>I'm looking to clone it all to a new 160 GB hard drive I got today and then expand my NTFS partition to the top (presumably with GParted). I have Clonezilla - will this work well for getting everything across, including GRUB?</p> <p>Also to note - I have a 160 GB drive in an enclosure that I can remove it from - it's my backup drive of sorts and I have around 60 GB free on it.</p> http://superuser.com/questions/63315/3-partitions-cloning-to-larger-disk-preserve-grub/63318#63318 2 Answer by Molly7244 for 3 partitions, cloning to larger disk; preserve GRUB?
