Hello
When Raw copying a 10gb HDD to 20gb HDD the 20gb shows up as only 10GB when finished. If I am understanding correctly there is no way to open up the rest of the 20gb other then partioning ahead of time. I would rather have 1 large drive then one partioned into 2. Thanks

After much research I found GParted 0.6.2-2 worked great at opening up the rest of the drive. Be sure to defrag the drive before using GParted.I ordered a live disk here. http://www.linuxcd.org/view_item.php?id_version=4822
Less than 2 bucks. Hope this helps others with this issue.
