<p>Hi a,</p>
<p>If you have a functioning OS then perhaps take a step back for a
bit to ensure success?</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="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">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>
