Me neither. :) Without looking into the articles, I trust them more to
be correct about this than I trust myself on this matter. However, it
should still be an option to copy the MBR first and partition the drive
afterwards. But of course that leaves the question why it didn't work on
your first try.
Did you edit grub's menu list to reflect your partition changes?
