simple hard drive upgrade question

I have a pretty simple question, I used to know alot more about the topic but
its been so long since I had to know this stuff. I know this is a 2000 group
but know people here will know the answer.

How do i upgrade a Winnt system from a 2gig fat16 partition to be 4gig. or any
larger for that matter? The system has to remain the same, but I need to
increase the root drive size.

I am upgrading a hard drive for someone who needs to keep WINNT on his system.
he has 3 partitions.
c: 2gig fat16
d: 2gig fat16
e: 10gig ntfs
I bought the new drive, made a ghost image of it and it automaticaly set up the
new drive to work with the new partitions. Basically it set the fat16 drive to
have the c drive to be a 4 gig. The ghost goes through fine, but the pc wont
start, just the blinking cursor. When I go to recover it back to the 2 gig root
drive size it works. I just need to increase the root hard drive size. Thx
