Thank you for the instructions, they are useful. However I have a couple more questions.
1. You suggest creating a target partition that is slightly larger than the source partition. Is there a reason why this is better than creating a partition of identical size? Are there Linux tools that I can use to find out the exact size of the source partition and create a partition of identical size on the target drive? 2. Per your response to (1), are there Linux tools that can non-destructively resize a partition? I tried using parted to resize the NTFS partition that I created with cfdisk, but it refused, saying it does not support NTFS. 3. My source partition is primary bootable NTFS, even though it does not contain an OS. Should I create a primary bootable NTFS target partition on the target drive? (It already has a primary bootable NTFS partition at the beginning of the drive containing a copy of Windows XP. This may cause problems.) If I create a logical and/or non-bootable target partition and ddrescue to it from the source partition, would I still be OK? Thank you for your time and attention. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-Copy-from-Partition-to-Partition--tp17844048p17979176.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
