I probably can't leave things alone, but - there was only 5gb left on the Recroom Win7 system partition!

I probably can't leave things alone, but - there was only 5gb left on the Recroom Win7 system partition! When I'd installed things originally I may have underestimated just how many games and applications I might install on it. So, I thought the obvious thing was use Clonezilla again (after my success on the Studio PC) and move stuff from a 1 TB drive to a 2 TB drive.

The clone went OK, though Win7 wanted to check everything, gave me TWO Windows options to boot from! Now it's just a matter of using GParted to more and resize partitions on the new drive. No issues, but it takes a l-o-n-g t-i-m-e to move things around. By the end of the process the Win partion will be double the size, there'll be a video partition, and a games one as well - for stand-alone / steam stuff installed.

And then - all things going properly - it's back to business as usual.
