Sure it will. You'd want the block sizes to be pretty close (and ignore
the "size mismatch" warning if they aren't exact). Also be sure there's
nothing on the partition you're about to overwrite... but it'll lay down
a whole 32MB drive's worth of a disk image if you want.
ADTPro will see my hard drive? I don't think I've ever seen it show up
as a disk in the menu.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever tried that before. Of course even
if this works my problem is that my partitions are only 30 Megs and the
hard drive images are 32 Megs. Something tells me that won't work out
very well. I've never tried to repartition a hard drive on a IIgs
before (mine came that way). How hard is that to do?
