Hi all, I'm pretty certain this has been asked before and I did find a few things on Google, but I'd like to be sure to understand it fully...
I have two 20GB hard drives with the same geometry, the only difference being that one of them is a more "silent" version. In the end, I want to use the "silent" one for Linux. However, there's a Win00 installation on that drive at the moment, which I'd like to keep as is. Hence my question: Is it possible to "clone" that Win00 installation from one drive to the other using dd? Has anybody tried this - and what were the experiences? Am I right in assuming that the command is simply dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb (maybe with a blocksize to increase speed) - and will that also copy any bootblocks that Win00 might use? Any information appreciated, though I'm really after a solution that can be done with Linux' tools, as my knowledge about Win is close to nil...
