Hello everybody,

I ran dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda bs=10240 to copy the
contents of one drive to another as suggested on this
list. And updated fstab and grub.conf. Now the PC
boots into a kernel panic. The boot sector /dev/sda1
is okay but badblocks reveals page after page of
badblocks on /dev/sda3(reiserfs), my root part. 

I've only had the drive, a Western Digital 120G SATA,
a few days and it was never dropped or bumped. Could
it be a lemon drive or is this a result of dd going
haywire somehow? 

I re-ran dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/sda3 to redo just the
partition in question but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?
