Re: [PLUG] Copy Window harddrive using a Linux boot floppy?

[epike@isinet.com]

I had to clone a windows hard disk the other week, what I did
was partition an exact (or slightly higher) size, dd  the source
and then use parted to resize the new partition.  worked for me.

Actually now that i remember it, i also used parted to copy the
original partition.
