Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've had Gentoo running for a long time now, before that I was using |
| 4 |
WinXP (this is my work machine, I have no choice). I simply got an old |
| 5 |
(8GB) HD, setup it, installed and started working (with dual boot, |
| 6 |
just in case). After a while, I found myself not using winxp anymore, |
| 7 |
as most of my stuff was already ported (printers, file shares) or |
| 8 |
emulated (novell using qemu and full virtualization). Now, I'm running |
| 9 |
out of space in this old HD, and want to move my Gentoo install over |
| 10 |
to the 40GB original disk of this machine. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I thought about "dd" the entire old disk to the new one, but I guess |
| 13 |
partitioning will not like that (because of the size, and I have been |
| 14 |
using fixed primary partitions), maybe tar or something like that. |
| 15 |
Anyway, if anyone have suggestions on the procedure needed to do that, |
| 16 |
it would be more than welcome. Any info needed, please let me know. |
| 17 |

Thanks in advance. |
