haha, doh! just started the daily forum browsing.

OP: look i think you're going about this whole thing the wrong way. If both drivers were the same size and vendor then a copy of the partition table (using slize 2!) would be fine, but given the situation as I understand it you should just run format and manually set the partition table to match as needed. It's not terribly complicated.
