Unix command "dd" (= device dump) is your friend ! Assuming the disk to clone is connected to primary IDE channel as master (=/dev/hda) and the target disk resides on primary IDE as slave (=/dev/hdb) the command you need to issue looks like this: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=128M The option "bs" specifies a buffer of 128MB size. Otherwise "dd" would copy blocks of 512 byte each ... If you need more information: man dd info dd dd --help -- Never give up ! Best regards / Gruß, Reinhard. "Software is like a parachute.
