Quoting Matt Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Will this also transfer the filesystem structure?
Indeed. The man pages for these commands will provide variations
of their usage. So as to obtain different results. Dependant upon your
needs.

Hi,
Is there an EASY method to transfer the partitions from an old hard
disk
to a new one?
I presume you want to trasfer all the files from one (or more)
partition(s) in the old hard drive to a new hard drive. If so, try the
command "dd". man dd(1). There are examples at the bottom of the man
page.
Other commands that may be used are: tar & cpio (man tar & man cpio for
more info).
