Hi All,

The machine I am currently sitting on has a hard drive that makes aweful grating 
noises at random intervals (usually I hear once or twice a day, but it's up 24 hours 
so there may be other times).  This appears to happen more frequently now that I have 
my squid cache and swap on the same disk.

Anyway, to my question.  How can I duplicate the old hard disk (which I know to have 
atleast 2-3 areas which fail to read) onto a new one (free tools preferred)?  Is it 
worth attempting or should I just create a new install of Debian on the machine? :-).

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Kieran
