Didn't you do this from working system on hda? In this case there |
| 10 |
really could be troubles with special files etc. Imho live-cd better |
| 11 |
for this purpose. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
At any case imho it's better to split this task |
| 14 |

0. Boot from live-cd. |
| 16 |
1. Copy partitions from hda to sda (cp or rsync) |
| 17 |
2. Edit fstab on sda. |
| 18 |
3. Configure grub on HDA to see hda and sda systems, |
| 19 |
4. Try to boot sda. |
| 20 |
5. If all is good, configure grub on sda, and change BIOS boot order. |

As Canek wrote rsync is great for this task, but beware - last '/' in |
| 23 |
'/source/directory/' means! |
