<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>
