Is it possible to clone a softmodded hard drive onto a larger hdd (eg using imageX)?

Softmod is cheaper, thus more effective

You would do better to follow the hdd upgrade tutorials and then ftp everything back onto the new drive. Cloning a drive only really works if the drives are the exact same make, model and size.
imageX is a tool that was made for semi-commercial repairers who had access to stock type drives. By all means give it a go, but don't try with a valuable 500 gig drive because there is a fair chance of causing real damage.. dig up an old 10 gig hdd. You will still have to repartition after you fit the drive because it will be a true image, so if the drive is 8.6 gigs and you put that image on a 500gig drive it will still only be 8.6 gigs, the rest will be unpartitioned and inaccessible. .. hehehehe..
