Just copy one partition to the other drive and reconfigure grub. I prefer Ranish Partition Manager (www.ranish.com, freeware) for the job but you could also do it with Linux. I assume you would have to create a partition of exactly the same size and then do a "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1" in order to copy your the first drive to your second hard disk. But I really recomend you use Ranish for the job! -- +-----------------------------------------------+ |Gregor Tudan | | |Am Schingelaich 15 |Email: G.Tudan@xxxxxx | |99100 Döllstädt |Mobil: 0179/2776903 | +-----------------------------------------------+
