Yes, with this caveat. Simply transfer all of your 6.4 gb hd to the 20gb hd
just as is leaving the rest of the 20gb empty for now. Do NOT take the
option in Drive Image "Allow partitions to use all space" as this will
change the cluster size expanding your 6.4gb worth of partitions out to
20gb, which will HOSE your linux set up. At that point boot up linux and
verify everything's aok. Then you can partition the REST of the drive as you
wish. This is essentially what I told you the 1st time and is all I can give
you. Good luck!

em' in the catagory of progressing, not perfect.
I haven't seen a clear cut answer to my question about Drive Image. (There are other solutions that I will be checking out.) Can I safely transfer the paritions of a 6.4GB to an empty 20GB drive, set up a new partition in the unused space, and have my installation work fine?
I'm leaning towards manually configuring the 20GB drive, used a boot disk to mount the drives and tar to trasnfer the files.
Thanks!
