Awesome! Thank everyone for your responses. And sorry for not replying sooner. The thing is, I forgot to mention that I had one more partition. Some /mnt/data0 drive where I was keeping some backups and photos. I used dd from an older Knoppix 7.0 I found at hand when I started. dd was running like so: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda. In another lxterm tab, I left a while true kill -SIGUSR1 (PID_of_dd) and sleep 300 to see its progress. However, when I woke up (was getting ready to leave for my parents place), I saw that the lxterminal window was gone, and so was the lxde taskbar, buttons. As I was in a rush, I didn't think much of that, pressed ctrl+alt+f1, turned off, removed 250gb drive and turned on the computer to see the result. As pointed, Debian did boot, however I noticed that the data partition was not imaged completely (lxde/lxterm crash). This is because when I did an ls /mnt/data0 I got the following: ls: cannot access /mnt/data0/backup: Input/output error ls: cannot access /mnt/data0/hdd mic: Input/output error ls: cannot access /mnt/data0/iso_library: Input/output error ls: cannot access /mnt/data0/download: Input/output error I wasn't able to identify any other issues, however this looks bad enough. So again, thank everyone for the valuable suggestions, however I will now have to redo the process again, and this time I think I will use ddrescue. (I do get the second chance since, in a rush, I removed the hdd, closed the computer case, booted, etc; when I grabbed the hdd I took an older 80 GB ATA drive that was on my desk instead of the 250 GB SATA.) Best regards,
