BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA! You are truly pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. You
invoke Symantec and PowerQuest when it suits you then you deny them when it
doesn't. You're a fucking nutcase. A total, 100% certifiable fr0otcake.

OP: "... a new larger disk."

The import of those few words are completely lost on you, aren't they,

Who gives a *** what you said? Without fail, whatever it was you said is
not in keeping with the facts, which you just quoted, for fucks snakes, and
you still can't get it right. Your quoted text there from the KB has already
been dealt with in another post and it has been summarily disposed of on the
grounds that:

OP: "... a new larger disk."

The import of those few words are completely lost on you, aren't they,
Dustard?

There is no risk of data loss in the situation as described by the OP. Do
