afternoon bitches,
I am wanting to clone my current hard disk onto another one using Knoppix and I can't for the life of me remember the command for it (not dd), anyone know what it is?

Ta!

you want to clone the whole disk to another one? for size upgrades or what?

If so, there are much easier ways of doing it than knoppix

yeah, I have a new hard drive and I want to copy the entire old one to it keeping the partitions and things the same relative sizes. I did it using Knoppix a few months ago at work but Im buggered if I can remember the command for it!

holdon, ill upload an iso that will do the trick...

shite, i seem to have missplaced my copy. Im downloading it from my office PC, may take a few mins.

sweet, cheers chap!

Righto, all done.

First things first - ensure both drives are in the PC, and you know what order they are connected in so you make sure you copy the old one to the new one and not the other way round. It should be easy enough in your case as the new one will be bigger.

Burn it & boot from it. When it gets into the ghost console, choose Local - Disk to Disk mode.
It should do its ghosty thing and transfer your drive data.

Any excess space is normally left as unused space on the drive. Once you are back in windows, you can make a partition in this space, or use tools like Partition Expert / Magic to resize the exsisting ones.

Should be largely straightforward. If you get stuck, gimme a shout.

You're a gentleman!

That is exactly how I read it too.

New disk is in and working fine (can hear it on accessing, but I'll get used to it)
