I have a bootable FAT32 partion with Windows XP on my MacBook Pro.
Just got a new drive, and I DO NOT want to re-install Windows if I can
help it.

The one UNIX utility I *think* will allow me to copy the partition
is dd.  While I have some UNIX hacker creds, I'm damn well a dd newb
(so much for those hacker creds).  Has anyone dded a bootable Windows
partition, and willing to share instructions?  I'm taking a 10GB
partition up to a 20GB partition... will that make any difference?

Thanks.
