Re: [PLUG] disk to disk copy
|
Though I never did it myself, it is perhaps possible to dd a single
partition, no? Then there wouldn't be the problem of getting the
smaller drive's partition table, since you would not be copying it.
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1
for example.

What is a good utility for copying a hard drive to a new, larger drive?
I just learned about partimage, but I don't want to waste time creating
an image.
rsync with the appropriate command line arguments (for example, "-avPH")
works very well for this, and can continue where it left off if it is
unexpectedly interrupted.
Ah! What about making the drive bootable? What I'm looking to do is to
boot with something like Knoppix, run a utility to copy a WinXP install
to another drive, then boot from the new drive.
