My IBM Thinkpad 570 laptop has a 4GB Drive partitioned 1.5GB Fat 32 and 2.5GB ext2.
Needless to say, I'm running out of space on the windows side and need to get a larger drive.
So here's my plan:
1) Use Ghost or Drive Image to make an image of the entire drive (all partitions) and back it up over the network.
2) Install the new drive (20GB, restore the image from the network onto the new drive.
3) Use Partition Magic (I own version 6) to resize the partitions to take up the space of the whole drive, something like 12GB Fat 32 and 8GB ext2
2 questions:
A) Will this plan work? Are there any problems that you know of outright?
B) Which should I get: Ghost or Drive Image?
Thanks in advance for the input.
