That's not my understanding... AIUI dd will work fine if he is going to
a larger drive. The problem he will be left with is that the
partitioning will reflect his smaller drive.
If he was going from a 160GB drive to 500GB as I recall, then he should
have a fully functional set of partitions extending over the first 160GB
of the drive and the remaining 340GB going begging. He could go on and
fix that by adding a new partition and assigning the 340GB to it, then
formatting the new partition ext3 or whatever. So dd is not something
that should not be considered.

Well my plan when this is done will have a sudo LVN that has a
partition for /boot and /home and perhaps /usr. This will come together
when I do it. With the larger hard drive I may partition for two or
three Linux versions out in the future.
