Powerquest (makers of drive copy) have another product that MAY do the job. It is called Drive Image. The litature on this claims it can copy (but, NOT resize) Unix partitions. You can upgrade from DriveCopy to Drive Image for $15 through PQ. I have used both products but, not on Unix or Freebsd partitions. I upgraded thinking I could copy and resize but, it apperently can only copy and NOT resize. So I will have to reinstall to the new larger drive. I may try it anyway if I do I will report back here with results.
