You have already spent more time trying to move the install than it would have taken to put a fresh install of 11.0 on the new drive. Then just connect your old drive via a usb adapter:

$11 (worth every bit for laptop users with multiple hard drives)
Then just copy old-drive/home to new install and whatever other data you have and your done...
I used a device like that (Appricorn (part of my tools at work, borrow it often)) to copy my existing drive (80G sata) to a new drive (500G sata), drive has 2 hidden partitions (Dell Diag & WinXP Restore) along with an XP install and a OpenSuse 10.3 install. I ran into the drive by Id thing because the drives are different of course, I was hopeing to expand a couple partitions and then add an OpenSuse 11.0 partition, not sure if I can pull it off cause I don't really want to rebuild the 10.3 system. Will probably give it another stab next week.. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
