Put a new harddisk into your system, partition it as you like, and use |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
tar -cSp --numeric-owner --atime-preserve -f - /mnt/OLD/* | ( cd |
| 4 |
mnt/NEW/ && tar -xSpv --atime-preserve -f - ) |
| 5 |

to copy your linux system/data/whatever. I have done so many times, this |
| 7 |
works perfectly, e.g. also to change filesystem. |

For the windows thing, dd works quite well, you should create the new |
| 10 |
windows partitions about the same size as they are now, or you will |
| 11 |
loose space. I am but not sure how your windows reacts, if e.g. the |
| 12 |
bigger windows partition is not #11 anymore, afterwards. |

Is your C: alone bootable? If yes, I think it should work, but no |
| 15 |
guarantees. |
