Yes! Partimage has helped me "ghost" systems, swap out hard drives and
restore identical systems, and also let me upgrade from a small hard
drive to a larger partition. CHKDSK afterwards fixes the larger
partition size. Partimage is a very handy program, and comes on Knoppix
disks, an easy way to use it. My log here:
