Re: [PLUG] How best to replace old drive with new drive

["Brian Stempin" <brian.stempin@gmail.com>]

I don't know about Ghost, but IIRC, dd copies bit-for-bit, so GRUB should "just work" if you dd.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.  I'm just hypothesizing based on what I know about dd.

So I've got a mail server that has an old HD. And I wanna replace it with a
larger one, which I happen to have lying about. I know there's any number of
ways to clone the HD (me, I like Ghost, but I also have DriveImageXML, and I
suppose I could even do a dd). Anyways, if I were to Ghost to the new drive,
what would I need to do to make grub run on it? I seem to remember doing
this before, and getting a new drive with larger partitions, but grub
wouldn't run.

A pointer or clue, anyone? Something about booting a Knoppix LiveCD, and
running "grub-install", I believe?

Thanks
