  1. yeah but can you boot the disk you cloned?
  2. Thats why y use the root terminal. and i put gksu to file managers.
  3. you cant, you need to install new os in other partition.
  4. If you put on status=progress then it will show you the progress. So your command would be
    sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc status=progress
  5. Can I clone using dd from an internal Windows c: (has other partitions) to an external USB connect hard drive? If I swap the drives, will the new one be bootable?
  6. will it delete everything in the destination drive. Because I don't want to manually do that.
  7. HOW DO I COPY THE WHOLE OPERATING SYSTEM WITH ALL THE APPLICATIONS TO ANOTHER DRIVE
  8. Nice explanation of how to do it. A little background, but just the basics. This is exactly what I was looking for, NOT every freakin' option for the dd command.

    Thanks!
  9. ,pls let some show me how to clone my HDD to HDD in Ubuntu OS 10.4. in DOS command . Thanks.
  10. thanks Dan.  :)
  11. Did you ever make that second video. I'm interested to know if the image IMG file copied to another drive ends up exactly as copying from one drive to the next?
  12. Excellent! I'm a Kubuntu 14.04LTS transition from all M$ products (I've been playing with, but not serious, with *.nix since 1988).  I've been playing with Dolphin, but kept getting unable to copies.  This worked and was very simple. Thanks!
  13. This guy shows you everything except the dd command.
    He seems to like to hear himself talk- and gulp.
  14. df -h doesn't list of all my drives.
  15. Why do you insist on calling it GNU? When in fact it is GNU/Linux. The GNU Project believes that the name ‘Linux’ should be used to refer only to the operating system kernel and the name ‘GNU/Linux’ be used when referring to the entire operating system. It all depends on what side of the fence you want to stand on.
  16. thank you , what if i copy my ssd that i installed ubuntu on it to my externel hdd , is this will copy the whole system ? if yes then how can i restore it
  17. Good tuto but Why everybody insists in calling it "Linux" when the that group of O.S. is "GNU" , ....really can't understand why ???
  18. hi dan i want to say thanks for quick simple videos. Briefly i want to copy a recovery partion to another hard drive, is that possible with this dd command. my goal is to boot from the copied partion in the new hard drive.
  19. Nice video, i wanted to create a backup of my old 80GB IDE hard drive to my new one (SATA2 500GB). I was wondering if I should create a partition with the same size on my new HD to be able to restore the backup. Also, what kind of file should i use to fit an image of several GBs?
  20. Has to be the easiest dd instructions ever.
