i finally got a working backup of my system on disk and tested it. everything's ok.  but what i can't figure out is how to transfer my 9 gig partition backup to my 18 gig drive without having it make a 9 gig partition on it and the rest being unpartitioned space.  i was told that i could move data from one hard disk to the other while retaining the size of the bigger partition on the new disk.  what options do i use?  i use restore partition and it made the 18 a 9 gig partition.  i did restore disk and it did the same thing.  this backup was made using the backup-partition option.  thanks.
