Option 2 I'm not sure where to start to do it this way however I expect it could be done, can anyone give me a starting pointer? Or should I do option 1?<br></blockquote><br>I'd try this first. I've done this in the past several times this way:<br>
1. Put the new disk into the system<br>2. Boot from a live CD<br>3. Partition and format the new disk<br>4. Mount the new and the old partitions<br>5. Copy everything from the old disk to the new disk - you'll need to do this at the file level<br>
6. Make sure the new disk is bootable. I'm using gentoo so I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to do here but it shouldn't be hard<br><br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div>
