<p>You bet Satsangat. I used a Gparted disk to find the definition
of the drives and then the command line in the included terminal
emulator after checking, rechecking and then checking again that I
had the correct drive designations. I think the cloning took less
that an hour and no data loss or other glitch. Just a new, larger
SSD with all, everything. If someone wants to walk a through it
that would be a good thin. I think Jason helped me as well as Eric
but that was so long ago I don't know, besides you, who can walk a
through it. It scared me aft first also but it turns out to be a
simple process and I will do it again should my 1 TB SSD ever need
to have more capacity. I can't imagine that but then I also
thought that my Apple G3 desktop with 4GB drive was enormous! It
wasn't</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've mentioned before but dd makes this a simple and
fool-proof method of cloning the old drive to the new one.
It takes an enclosure for the new drive w/ usb connection
and that's it. After checking the drive names to get the
correct info into the command line it is simply running
something along the following (in case your drives show up
differently but this is what I did upon fellow NMGLUGgers.
Special thanks to Eric almost 10 years ago!!):</p>
<pre class="gmail-m_4193771927357076030moz-quote-pre">dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=notrunc,noerror
...will copy everything from hard drive sda to sdb (i.e. all
partitions, swap and all data), a true clone. No need to create
partitions or format them on the target hard drive as the dd command
will create them because it is copy of every single block of sda.
Now if you where copying a single partition to a new drive yes you
would have to create the target partition on the new hard drive.
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M conv=notrunc,noerror
In the command above this would clone partition 1 on drive sda to
partition 1 on drive sdb. In this case you would not need to format
the new target partition either as it is again copying every block of
partition 1 of the source sda1 to the target sdb1.
Hope this helps.

<p>Hi Jason<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the good thought, i do not know who that
person, to meet early, could be?. If you will be around
Thursday lunch get things rolling, under 300Gb. or wait
till later in the week, see how things "shake out",
another meeting is okay, the ssd has arrived I have a
usb adapter, <br>

<p>Hi a</p>
<p>I highly recommend coming to a meeting to get this
done in person. For something like this its good to
get confirmation that someone is willing and able to
help you at the meeting. It would also be good to meet
this person early to allow time for such a migration.
I might be able to be this person next week but my
days are so crazy its hard to say what time I would be
able to get to the meeting.</p>
