hi,
The best way to do this is the following:
create an ext2-filesystem on the enw drive using mke2fs
mount it under say /mnt
then do
find / -mount | cpio -rp /mnt/
This is going by memroy.
You do best readingthe find(1) and cpio(1) manpages before proceding.
I used this combination some time ago to move my root-partition around
between 2 places about 5 times in one day ;)
Note that I'm asuming that your old hard-drive contains only a single
partition.
If this is not the case, you probably want to do this for every single
partition you need to copy.
success
