Thanks for the  responses guys.  I am restoring from a cd.  I've tried
resizing/expanding from Drive Image's options (setting size to just
about size of new drive).  However, when I do this, it either hangs at
around 70% complete (left it overnight and awoke to find same).  I've
been leery about using PM to resize due to the fact that  the system is
used in a real-time "mission critical" video app and owner has always
had problems with drives in this system.  Right now, unit is up and
running with extra partition, but I can test app due to site-license
issue; I need to wait for client to furnish proper info.
