Yes, I have a 2.5" USB enclosure. I'll boot from a live cd and then
I have run this (for IDE drive):<br>
<br>
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=32768
<br>
<br>
I'd change the "h" to "s". Is Nick's the better command?<br>
<br>
Muchas gracias all....<br>

Will copy all partitions from sda to sdb and just expand sda1 on
the

new drive once it's finished. Granted it's not the fastest
method but
<br>
it works.

The above works well, but I've had slightly better results with;
<br>
<br>
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=notrunc,noerror
