Clone 20gb Hardrive to new 60gb Hardrive

[Bickyz]

I have a 20gb hardrive with 3 partitions 6gb primary, 7 each for logical extended.

This 20 gb is almost full, i dont want to delete any programs or files, is there any otherway that i can transfer everything to my new 60gb hardrive. Can i use norton ghost to clone it. will it work later?

Im planning this, creating 3 partitions in new 60gb hd as 30gb each. And using norton ghost to clone each partitions to this new partitions like primary partitions of 20gb to 1st partitions of 60gb and so on for other two. But how will i make this 1st partition active? Will this solution of mine works or is there any other easier way?

Clone the old drive to the new drive using Ghost and then expand the partitions using the partition manager.

Norton Ghost should do it, but I have found Acronis True Image more reliable and easier to use -

Ghost should do what you need, but a free utility should have come with the drive if it was bought retail.
