Gene,

> So I started a dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdd which cloned that 160GB drive to a 200GB drive.

AFAIK, when you dd in that manner, you are cloning as you say.  In that way,
you are cloning everything.  By everything I mean you are cloning the disk
label, partition table, inodes and all bad bits.  In effect, you've made a
200GB drive into a 160GB drive.
