I've done that quite often, and it's no problem. 1. Boot from an external medium, e.g. www.sysresccd.org 2. Mount both disks 3. Use "rsync -avxHSAX /source/ /target" to copy the partitions 4. Install grub2 on the new disk: - mount /dev/sdaX /mnt - grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda - grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2./grub.cfg Reboot, and you're done. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
