An update: The dd command as suggested by Greg worked fine, I was able to take the original 2 good hdds (or working pulls w/ os on them) and back them up to a couple of files in the temp dir, then write back out to a couple of unpartitioned drives of equal or larger size. I tried to resize with gparted but it fails to resize and I don't have any other tool (yet) to do that. Orig hdd is 1 GB with about 110MB of data in FAT16 partition and the other is about that size with maybe a bit more data. One has Win 3.11 and the other is Win95 (I said it was old crap). Issue is 3 spare drives from 172MB to 800MB size that I cannot use until I get the copied partition resized down to 172MB. The copied partitions are on drives that are too thick to fit into his laptops. It's always something ...
