Re: [LUG] HELP: hard disc migration

[Jon Lawrence <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Assuming old drive is /dev/hda new drive is /dev/hdb
use 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb' (without quotes).
Now remove the old drive and replace it with the new drive. I'm not sure
if this only works with drives of the same size.
