I have a 50-something Gb hard disk, the contents of which I would like to copy to a 250 Gb hard disk. The source hard disk contains one NTFS data partition. The target hard disk has a 20-something Gb NTFS boot partition at the beginning, the rest of the space currently unallocated. The source hard disk may have some physical problems, which is why I prefer to use ddrescue over Norton Ghost etc.
How do I safely copy the partition from the source hard disk to the target hard disk? Do I have to create a partition on the target hard disk first? Can it be of arbitrary size -- for instance, if I create a 1 Mb partition and direct ddrescue to write to it, will it write off the end and will it still work? Which Linux tool and syntax should I use to create this partition, and then copy to it using ddrescue? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-Copy-from-Partition-to-Partition--tp17844048p17844048.html Sent from the Gnu - ddrescue mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
