dd Partition Recovery Procedure?!?


Hello again, this is a second part to my "Holiday Drive Recovery" post
made a few moments ago.

There have been some threads in the past several months on how to
recover a hard drive installation using the `dd` command between to
mismatched drive sizes. I just can't seem to find them. Does anyone
have any links or a procedure?

What I'm referring to is ... `dd` the drive image from a smaller
partition to a larger partition ... now the problem is the larger
partition thinks it is the same size as the smaller one. There had
been a thread at one point of some commands to recover the lost space
.... for both Linux and MSWin as I (seem to) remember.

Any pointers or comments would be appreciated. TIA!
