[CLUE-Tech] Moving an existing installation to a second hard drive

[Gary Threlkeld]

BOF -

I'm a Linux newbee.  I have the same question regarding migration of my 
Redhat 7.2.  I need to move from a 13 Gig to a 20 Gig with corresponding 
expansions of partitions.  

Is there a tool similar to PowerQuest's Drive Image or Symantec's Ghost 
for MS Windows (ugh!)?

Can those tools be used??? 

GTT
