You can clone your 5.1G HD to a 20G HD, causing 5.1G of the 20G HD to
actually be used. Then to "restore", you clone the same number of
sectors from the 20G back to the 5.1G. This is not the same thing as
cloning a partition.

If the 5.1G only has 1 partition on it anyway, then you can use
partition cloning rather than disk cloning. You simply must write an MBR
to the bigger disk after doing the partition clone. Also, before you do
anything, you must ensure that new HD is configured to use the same LBA
configuration as the old, e.g.- 240H 63S on old means new must also be
240H 63S. DFSee can do it all. Jan has provided the docs to do so,
though I think the part you want is ATM only on the Yahoo web site you
don't have access to, and not in the on disk docs (e.g. - disk cloning
from large HD to smaller HD). Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a closer look in
the supplied docs will prove me at least partially wrong on this part.
