Hi Joe,

I like Clonzilla for these sorts of jobs myself. The LiveCD usually does the
trick. It basically uses dd and other Unix tools in the background, as
Michael suggested. It may be a bit more user friendly though, the interface
is pretty good. I know it will clone and move images between drives or
partitions of different sizes no problem, provided there's room on the
target location of course.

That would be my suggestion, but perhaps someone else knows of something
better. I wouldn't claim to be an expert. Good luck with it!

Dan
