dd takes an exact byte-for-byte copy. It's not appropriate for copying files from one partition to another, particularly when they're not the same size. It would be better to create the partitions you want on the second disk, and tar or cpio the files across (retaining permissions, etc). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "I think hot Chinese girls who kick ass are the wave of the future, as far as films go." - Cody Russell -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
