OK, it worked! I now have the 4GB Win2KP running on the 6GB :-) After
follwing the steps, I booted Knoppix (using the VM to boot it), ran
gparted and expanded the drive to 6GB, restarted the VM & booted into
Win2KP. Windows did it's chkdsk thing & popped right in. Now, for the
final test: removing the old 4GB machine so that VB only sees the new
machine. More later :-)
