Hi, I just got a bigger HDD for my laptop. I need to move the existing windows installation over the new drive.

Is there a free utility which will allow me to make a partition copy (NTFS) to a network share, and restore from there? I can not plug both drives at the same time, so I need to copy the old one, and then to install the new one.

All this is to make a free space for suse. I taught about running knoppix and dd, but I'm not sure that this will work.

Look for a copy of partimage, it will back the image over nfs and restore over nfs as well. Pay attention to the paths, and file names, you could trip over them. It's not the prettiest but it does the job. Mike
