- Connect your new HDD to your laptop (e.g. as an external drive). - Get the new HDD partitioned and formatted - "rsync -avxHSAX /old/partition/ /new/partition" will do a proper copy of your existing data - Look into /etc/fstab and change the new partitions UUIDs to the same (old) UUIDs used in fstab ("man tune2fs") - Change the HDDs - Install GRUB ("man grub-install") I have done this quite often, it works. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
