[olug] Imaging a 20GB to a larger hard drive

[Eric P]

Hi,

My system (Ubuntu 6.06) is purring along and is the only OS I have on my hard drive (20GB).  However, I have an empty
80GB hard drive that I'd move everything over to.

Is there a way to make a complete image of my 20GB and put it onto the 80GB and be up and running w/o the fuse of
reinstalling the OS?  BTW, I have a 3rd drive that could act as temporary holding space (it has ~50GB of space) where I
could place the image from the 20GB hard drive.

I figure the process would involve making an image and temporarily placing it on the drive w/~50 GB space, then
installing the 80GB HD and booting a live CD.  Then I'd somehow copy the image onto the 80GB hard drive so that it has
the same boot configuration.

Is this possible and relatively painfree?

Thanks,
Eric
