I also plan to increase the size of the NTFS partition. If I copy over the entire drive, then there won't be any room to expand it. Or am I missing something here?
Ah, so you don't want to duplicate the disk :) What I said in my PS then, as amplified by Anton.
So far, I can create a larger NTFS partition, but only the original amount of space is usable when I use dd to copy from the saved file. Parted doesn't seem to want to work with NTFS.
If you use dd to copy into the partition then you copy the original filesystem. You'd need an ntfsextend or ntfs-resize program and I've no idea whether it exists. The technique I do know is to create the new larger partition then copy the files across from the original partion - cp, rsync etc etc Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
