I'm with Howard. I use Clonezilla often. Sometimes, I'll have to use
GParted, first, to resize partitions, then use Clonezilla to copy stuff
over and possible use GParted, again, to resize the partitions on the new

OK that's 2 votes for Clonezilla, so I'll investigate that.
Some of the more vexing issues I'm having are related to GRUB. Maybe
it's just because I miss "the good ol' simple lilo days," but the more I
use GRUB, the more I hate it. LOL I know it's extremely powerful and
flexible, but it's also extremely confusing to me. That's probably due
to my inadequacies than due to GRUB.
This is how the partitions are currently set up...
Part. HDD(1T) SSD(224GB)
/ 52GB 57GB
boot 500MB 750MB
win7 105GB 114GB
home 52GB 49GB
I'll tweak those so that all partitions grow a bit on the SSD.
There are 3 other partitions that will stay on the HDD.
I'll google for this in just a minute, but what's the "current
conventional wisdom" about having the boot partition? And should I put
a swap partition on the SSD, leave it on the HDD, or neither? I've got
16GB of RAM.
Sorry for the newb questions. I used to know these things, but things
have changed a lot since I did this sort of thing, so I figure it's
better to not trust my oft-faulty judgement. LOL
Thanks!
