pretty easy, here we have only one, unpartitioned device, must be it, Follow the same steps to discover your SATA drive your's will be different to reflect your drive, note that this one's a 60GB drive Ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda MA, hdb io hard disk you're looking for, like the following
Some output will be put to the screen, hopefully indicating that this is the likely, hda is the disk since it sees a partition, but let's be sure After booting with a liveCD of your choice. that we want to back up to SATA hard drive 2, which is 80G Assume we have an ATA drive, hard drive 1, which is 40G Just make sure the recipient is the same exact size or larger, then give 'er a whirl. When using dd, if you target the root device, it don't matter what's on the disk, it's a bitwise copy. It basically does the same as above, but it is a little bit more new-user-friendly and can write NTFS AFAIK. Do that by typing in the following into the terminal:Īnd then wait until it is done. You will select /dev/sdb from the "disks" menu and format it as FAT32 (might also be called vfat.)Ĥ. There should be one partition on /dev/sda (it will be /dev/sda1 and be of type NTFS or FAT32.) There will be none on sdb as it is not formatted.ģ.
Since they are SATA drives in my example, and you booted from the original one, the original (source) drive is /dev/sda and the target (new drive) is /dev/sdb. That will tell you what hard disks you have in your computer. Then pull up a terminal (it will be under the Applications menu, then System -> terminal.) Type in the following: I'll use instructions for Ubuntu's live CD.Ģ.

Burn the ISO file you got to a CD, making sure it is burned as a CD Image, not a file. Look at DistroWatch and that will steer you to downloading a Linux live CD. Get a copy of Ubuntu or any other Linux live CD. If you have two SATA hard drives, here's what you might do.ġ. Also, the two drives need to be the exact same size- if the first is 120GB, the second should also be 120GB, not 250GB. Read support on NTFS is 100% suported in Linux, as is read/write onto FAT16/FAT32 partitions. One caveat is that the target drive should be in the FAT32 format, as the Linux write support is not yet 100% guaranteed to be 100% trouble-free. You can do it from a bootable CD and not mess with your HDD installation of Windows.
