Ghosting a hard drive with Linux Live CD
I've got a secondary drive connected to my system and I want to ghost the main drive onto it. Norton Ghost fails about half way through and just won't have it so I'm looking at using dd
I understand from googling that the correct format should be... dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=32768 Because I'm using sata drives. However, an fdisk -l returns this: Code:
Disk /dev/hda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 60802 488384512 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/hdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 60802 488384512 7 HPFS/NTFS dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc bs=32768 I've tried that and nowt happens. Nothing. Nada. Using Knoppix 5.1 Live CD. I really want to get this drive cloned and it's not going well today.
