So do I need to create the partition on the new drive or just format
the drive to ext4 and then use Nick's dd command?<br>

Will copy all partitions from sda to sdb and just expand sda1 on
the
<br>
new drive once it's finished. Granted it's not the fastest

The above works well, but I've had slightly better results with;
<br>
<br>
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=notrunc,noerror
