The tool for jobs like this is "g4u" Works awesome. Very well documented. Have used many times without hassle. g4u - Harddisk Image Cloning for PCs http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ You download the cd image, burn it, then reboot off that CD and type some commands. Can copy a disk entirely or by partitition (but that misses the MBR), can copy onto network or onto local drive. pj On 6/8/06, Les Mikesell <lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

You won't need to copy sda1 and sda2 separately. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
