    I have copied an image from an old SCSI drive with good results.
    I need to be able to restore this image to an IDE drive of larger capacity.

    The old drive is 4.3 gig SCSI and the new drive is 80 gig IDE.

    I did try to restore the image but the new drive could not be found.

      did you change out the harddrive or did you try to but your old image on a new computer?

        New computer.

        Since this last post I discovered that by editing and renaming some of the files I was able to make clonezilla think that the original drive was IDE by changing sda to hda. 

        Now if I could just get the partitioning corrected.  Novell still thinks it is a 4 gig drive instead of an 80 gig drive.

          Partition size is one thing, filesystem size is another thing. You have to resize the filesystem, too. Try to use your filesystem tool, like tune2fs, ntfsresize to do that. Or you can use
          /opt/drbl/sbin/resize_part
          to do that.
          For more info, try "/opt/drbl/sbin/resize_part -h".
