We may, assuming we can know where those disks exactly are? Are those disks IDE or SCSI? Assuming IDE: /dev/hda: primary master /dev/hdb: primary slave /dev/hdc: scondary master /dev/hdd: secondary slave Those are phisycal drives, not partitions. Recall that C:, D: etc. are partitions that reside on such disks, and that more than one partition can reside on a disk. The command-line above clones a whole disk. It will work if the target disk will be placed in the same place as the original disk later (e.g: the original was primary master, and the clone will later become primary master. Otherwise some changes may be required if you want to boot from the target disk. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
