I discovered I can buy a new IDE 160 GB Western Digital Hard

GB with a new one. What method would you suggest for putting all the
stuff on the old hard drive on this new one? It seems that dd could
do it but I wonder how fast it would be?
Any experience will be appreciated.
Do a little more shopping at newegg.com and save a few bucks
Seagate 250 GB $69 + free shipping
Hitachi 250 GB $59 + free shipping
OK John you have me hooked. I had forgot newegg and they are the
best for parts. I will order from them.
Now how to put this f7 on the new HD :-( I have had no help at
all so I will do it as I have in the past. I use cp=copy and the
switches -av >> file and that allows me to just let the copy happen
and when over read file and see what happened 8-)
I have done this more times than I needed to. Worked every time ;-)
Well looked at the Hard Drives listed and bought a new Western Digital
SATA 500 GB size so I will have half a terrabyte to play with and it
only cost $110.00 shipped with 3 day mail. So will put all of f7 on it
in a 25 GB partition and get things started.
