USB drives don't support multiple partitions.
Where did this misconception come from?
I had read that a while ago and also when I put the old drive into a USB case, none of the partitions were visible. When I put that drive back into the computer, everything is again available.
WHAT computer?
This sounds like Windows. That ... thing... has a flag that marked 'removable' drives as not being partitionable.
Of course that can be over-ridden.
But this is Linux.
I found the problem. I'm using a PCMCIA-USB2 adapter. When I use that, I cannot see mulitple partitions. However, if I plug into the computer's USB ports I can work with multiple partitions. However, since those ports are USB1, copying the files over will be very *SLOW*!!! Now, to duplicate the disk, I have to copy over an NTFS partition, which should be easy enough, along with the ext2 partition that contains /boot. However, the rest of the Linux system is on LVM, so I'll have to see if that pvmove works. I guess after all that stuff is copied over, the next step will be getting grub working again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
