[SOLVED] Need help Moving Distro Partition to new HDD

_roman_ · 04-26-2018, 04:02 AM

Always make backups.

check my backup procedure here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ux-4175618836/

Usually you keep /home and / separated on different partitions when you use a newbie binary distro.

/home can be treated as your data partitions.

do not use DD, use cp -avr (and check manpage to not mix up source and destination)
