You are correct, but then he has an exact duplicate of the old drive and a whole bunch of empty space because the new drive is larger....but making use of that unused space might be an easier problem to solve than getting grub to work that first time

I don't know about Ghost, but IIRC, dd copies bit-for-bit, so GRUB should "just work" if you dd.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just hypothesizing based on what I know about dd.

So I've got a mail server that has an old HD. And I wanna replace it with a
larger one, which I happen to have lying about. I know there's any number of
ways to clone the HD (me, I like Ghost, but I also have DriveImageXML, and I
suppose I could even do a dd). Anyways, if I were to Ghost to the new drive,
what would I need to do to make grub run on it? I seem to remember doing
this before, and getting a new drive with larger partitions, but grub
wouldn't run.
A pointer or clue, anyone? Something about booting a Knoppix LiveCD, and
running "grub-install", I believe?
Thanks
