You can make a precise copy of your disk with dd command |
| 2 |
using dd if=/dev/hdaX of=backupfile.iso |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
and then on the disk you want to write the data with |
| 5 |
dd if=backupfile.iso of=/dev/hdXX; |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
if bouth disk are in the same machine you can copy it directtly using |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
dd if=/dev/originpartition of=/dev/destinationpartition |
