How to migrate XP, Vista, Linux, BSD and Solaris to a bigger hard disk

[Mark_in_Hollywo]

FIRST: Thank you for a "hand".

The instructions worked as you said they would.

mark@Lexington:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000080

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1785 14337981 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1786 2040 2048287+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 * 2041 2306 2136645 83 Linux


Now - What is next? Do I allocate the unused 280 gig to sda3? or sda1? I know the partitioning must be done contiguously, but I haven't the foggiest as to how to go about that. This is how I lost/removed sda-s 5 & 6 a few days ago. It the 280 gig goes to sda1, where does sda2 and 3 go in the meantime?

Thank you again.
