I use tar. There is really no need to resort to a drive image type tool even with Windows. The main issues that you need to be concerned about is if the drive is going to be bootable that you subsequently run LILO. Or, if you have a bootable Windows partition, you would need to run the Windows sys utility. "Christopher D. Reimer" wrote:
I currently have a SuSE 6.3 installation on a 6.4GB hard drive that
consists of three partitions (/boot,/swap, and /) that I would like to transfer to a new 20GB hard drive. I'm planning to use Drive Image to copy the partitions directly over to the new hard drive, and then use the unallocated space (~14GB) for a /pub partition.
Does Drive Image do a good job at copying the partitions (no resizing)?
