    Copying a Linux HD.

    Will something like Ghost work to duplicate a linux installation to another drive?
    I have linux and ShowEQ working fine on an old HD, but it is starting to make noises that sound like the motor may be about to go out.
    I would like to just duplicate everything over to a different HD.

    Thanks,

    Ghost "Should" work. but I not 100% sure. I have used it 1 time with a linux drive that was same size and with a larger drive on a netware drive so I think it would also work for larger drives also. Just make sure you force a checkdisk(I know it isnt calle dcheckdisk but you know what I am talkign about)

    dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1024 count=xxxxx

    (where xxxxx is size of hda divided by 1024)
