Install both hard drives in the same machine. Boot with a CD-ROM such as LNX-BBC: http://www.lnx-bbc.org/download.html Fdisk your new hard drive, and mount the partitions you want to copy and the partitions you want to copy them to. Then, very carefully :) do: cp -a <source partition>/* <destination partition> This will go faster if you use hdparm to explicitly use DMA on both drives.
