Well, dd-ing live partitions was out of the question -however thanks for |
| 12 |
the reminder :) |

But I was thinking: if my old drive is 200 Gb and my new drive is 320 |
| 15 |
Gb, what happens to the partition table? That is, the old partition |
| 16 |
table will refer to a 200 Gb disk, on a 320 Gb disk. What happens to the |
| 17 |
120 Gb left? Are they recognized as an empty partition? Are they left |
| 18 |
unrecognized? |

Maybe I should just dd the MBR and then repartition the disk and use cp |
| 21 |
for the rest. |
