Thanks in advance.
Clone will dupe the drive.

In the time it took to get your first response, you could have cloned
the drive already and just looked at what it did.Â*Â* "the proof is in the

Sorry, I'm not trying to be nasty, the clone operation will not destroy
any data on your current drive, and obviously you've allocated the 2nd
drive to be erased and cloned, so no harm there. I would have just
cloned it and seen what happened.

When I did my first clone I was moving from an 80G to 100G on an old
laptop. New 100G was expendable obviously and I knew the clone would
not hurt my data. I did it, swapped the drives and found it worked and
never went back. I did it another time later as the 100G was a 7200RPM
and it ran a bit hotter than I wanted.

I was using Acronis by the way and it would resize up or down IIRC.
