All that should be needed is to restore the GRUB boot_loader. You can<br>
do this by booting from media containing the distro you are running<br>

I just did a disk and it did the boot and expanded the drive proportionally all in one run. I am about to use it again on another system. It takes a long time, hours, so if you can just make your disk bootable, that is the way to go.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen </div></div></div>
