Another issue that you may run into is that the grub boot menu uses the uuid 
of the disk for mount instead of the older /dev/sda format, so you may have 
to manually reset the grub.cfg or menu.lst depending on your setup. 

In the past I have done clones of the smaller disk to larger, and then just 
created new partition for the extra space. A bit level copy will also set the 
uuid the same as the original disk. So, look at your current boot config file, 
and see if it has uuid options.
