A friend is getting a 120g drive to replace his current 40g (which is defectivly noisy). Its a windows system so some of you may wish to turn around now.


What I wish to do is have both drives in, boot knoppix and basically do the following (or similar) to copy the disks:

# dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdc1
        (40gig)         (120gig)

Okay problems that I think I might encounter: if the FS is NTFS, I think there no real stable NTFS writing tools. Also will `dd' create a single 40gig partition on the new drive?

Thanks, never used dd before.
