You can copy the contents of a partition from one Linux block device to

Hi Terry,
Halfway through I realised that Clonezilla can do a direct partition
to partition copy, which is what I ended up doing.
Yep, saves a second lot of copying.
Anyone know whether I can mount the disc read/write from a live disc?
I've only been able to mount it read-only so far, but
Hi Terry,
1. I plugged both discs into the Optiplex and booted from the old
disc. This worked perfectly.
OK.
2. I used KDE Partition Manager to format the 1TB disc into two

Hi Terry,
The tools I have used for this sort of thing are Clonezilla and GParted.
Clonezilla to copy from one disk to another, and GParted to resize
partitions.
There are live CDs for each, although GParted is in most Linux distros.
So I would do it in two stages, first clone, then
