Dutch_Master wrote:Let me tell you a secret: so do we!Seriously though, this is the opportunity to give it a try. The dd command is what you're after, and that syntax is pretty basic:
For copying a full harddrive, use bs=1M (1 MB) to speed things up.
- Code: Select all
dd if=/full/path/to/source of=/full/path/to/destination bs=<size of block during copy>
Example, assuming your old drive is at /dev/sda and the new drive is /dev/sdc:
- Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/sda of=dev/sdc bs=1M
Your turn now
PS: in case you don't have it yet, here's a site with Bash commands and their syntax: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
rsync [options] /full/path/to/source /full/path/to/destination
