I tried out redo for curiosity and failed!I backed up a 20 GB Lite partition on my internal 1 TB drive(sdb1) and tried to install it on a 20GB partition on a 250GB external drive(sdb2)When it asked for a drive to reinstall to and I pointed at sdb2 it threw an error that the drive is smaller than the original.I would expect an error if the partition was smaller but not the drive.
So I had a BFO (Brilliant Flash Of the Obvious) >The LL live boot disk I made was for the laptop 32 bit. > Made LL live boot disk in 64 bit. > Tried Fixparts again. It ran this time - it didn't ask me anything - it closed. I'm thinking that since the desktop only has a stand-alone /sda is the reason for this behavior. ?

Sounds like you've got 32-bit version of LL and tried to install 64-bit Fixparts to it.

I know what it's like to train a newbee and I want you fellas to know that I really admire your patience. I consider myself a quick study, BUT I'm also very cautious when treading in unknown territory.
Rob the live GPartEd is a little different from the 'install'. I didn't know whether to click the 'Device tab' or the 'Partition tab' to get to the part where I can move the partition for resizing. I aborted.... I remember reading about not creating a partition when resizing... and I wasn't sure where we were headed with this
So I decided to put LL on the desktop (side by side with Win 7) by using the ' live LL install disk' and do all the set-up broo-ha-ha that I did on the laptop ONLY TO DISCOVER that for some reason this lenovo M58 desktop with pre-configured Win 7 SP1 will not show the Win 7 OS when I run the INSTALL program. I get a blank 'Install - Installation Type' screen.
Hi... After much searching, can't find info on how to transfer without losing LL setup.... need to know how to move LL setup from laptop.
