 ). I know I can reimage the drive, but how will this work if the drive is partitioned? Would I have/be able to partition the new drive and image over each partition one-by-one? Or would I have to image over the entire drive and expand the partitions with GParted or EASEUS Partition Manager?Also, I'm dual-booting with Ubuntu. So, how would this affect the boot loader? --------------------    |

When you would image new hard disk, you will get partitions of same size as on old disk. Then you would have to decide what to do with unpartitioned space. You can expand partitions, create new partition. etc.
BTW: Use Clonezilla (open source) for disk imaging http://www.clonezilla.org/ -------------------- |
