64M? The /boot partition on my Redhat 6.2 is 10M, and I have well more than 5M free. /boot doesn't take up a whole lot of room.

Make the /boot partition smaller, and use the rest of the space for other partitions (/, /var, etc).

Also, I believe the WD bootable program is the EZ Drive program. if your BIOS is recent (within the last 2 years), you don't need the EZ Drive. The BIOS should know about drives bigger than 8G. If it was over 32G, then you might need a BIOS upgrade (I did, on my Asus motherboard).
