Re: Cloning Hard Disk

I'm having problems with a hard disk in a Debian Sarge server. The disk

Is there some way to clone what I've got on this disk onto a replacement?
I don't really want to install everything from scratch.

Either use dd or a simple cp with the -a switch... Be sure to mount the
source drive ro so as not to complicate the copy...
