Re: Replacing system hard drive?
Hi,
put a new drive (same size or biger) in your system.
the new drive must only be low-level formatet (adapter-bios function).
Then start your linux-system and make
$> dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 or similar
In assumption sda is your old and sdb your new drive.
It's tested with linux, Nt 4.0 and Win95 from 9Gig Micropolis to 9Gig IBM
(a little biger) and run very fine.
But i'm not shure that bs=1024 the best choice. It's possible you waste
some time.
good luck
Peter
PS: excuse my terrible english
