[NMLUG] hard drive replacement how to,

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

I'm currently doing this as I type.
   
  I had a 250gig start to go bad.
   
  I just booted up a knoppix type disk in my case Knoppix-STD but you can use DSL or whatever.  I've heard that the SUSE boot/rescue disk works well too.
   
  Once I got a command prompt I typed 
   
  dd if=/dev/hde of=/dev/hdg
   
  where if=old disk and of=new disk
   
  It's been running all night copying all 250gigs.  Was still running when I went to work this morning.
   
  Good luck!
