Is there an easy way to backup a windows partition then restore it later without
gimping anything that windows requires?

I have a small hda (hda1 is a win98 partition, the rest is a swap and a linux
partition).  My active linux systems are on hdb.

I want to retain the win98 stuff (rest of hda is not needed) then replace hda
with a much larger disk, restore the win98 stuff, redo grub, etc.  

Booting without hda is no problem, since I have a grub boot disk.  

I just want to avoid the pain of reinstalling win98 (mucho yucky, worse than
configuring sendmail).
