Hi, I try to duplicate my xp and FC3 to a larger disk, I try 0) use fdisk to partition new disk(hdb) 1) dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 bs=32256 (for XP) 2) dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/hdb2 bs=32256 (for /boot) 3) dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/hdb3 bs=32256 (for LVM, and / is included) I reinstall grub after everything is finished. Everything works properly, except... "from the df and windows explorer, I found both OS still remember their old partition's size". I think partition resize tool like QTparted can help me, but it also tells me the partition table is correct, I can do nothing about it. What can I do on XP to make it aware the new space? Any input would be appreciated. Patrick
