A bit off topic; but, I've got a Windoze box with a failing hard drive; and an FC3 box (which is working a whole lot better). What's the recommended process to create an exact duplicate (boot sector and all) of a hard drive? Is it really as simple as: cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdb ??? Does the new drive need to be partitioned first? Or is there some other way to clone drives? Thanks in advance! Clay Jackson clayj@xxxxxxxxxx
