    nuttron,

    dd reads and writes binary bits and doesn't care what operating system. 32 or 64 bits operating systems still binary-coded to "1" or "0" in the end.

    jhecht,

    From my experience you should end up with a brick wall unless the two PC are so much similar. Xp protects itself by recording each hardware by a point system. If the changes are...

    jhecht,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    Yes you got it right.

    Here are a few pointers which may of interest to you.

    There is no need to format or partition the clone. When the dd operation starts...

    biomecanoid,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    Yes nowadays each partition is given a unique idenfication. I believe the protocol is an agreement between all the major operating systems and for the Linux...
  5. Sticky: the command dd is actually very simple as it...

    the command dd is actually very simple as it works with the hard disk directly by doing a sector by sector reading from a source and writing on a target disk.

    It repeatedly claimed read/write...
  6. Sticky: Your cloning with dd has failed in both cases. ...

    Your cloning with dd has failed in both cases.

    Your source is 13Gb large and the target is 41.1Gb so a standard cloning will stop once the source is exhausted in reading.

    However dd reported...
  7. Sticky: Can you post here the output of sudo fdisk -l,...

    Can you post here the output of
    sudo fdisk -l, say before and after the cloning?

    Technically dd reads from the source disk a number of sectors specified by the user and writes on the target...

    HarryB,

    Welcome to Justlinux!


    For a Xp the necessary condition is to remove the source when booting up the clone in exactly the same position.

    If the source has bad sectors then the bad...

    deanaossenfo,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    I am merely passing the knowledge the members of this forum have taught me in the past.

    leronIves,

    The end result should be the same whether you do it from disk-to-disk or disk-to-file-to-disk.

    Back up a large disk is a time consuming exercise and the speed can be optimised using...

    AleronIves,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    It is true that I favour the disk to disk cloning because you save time in compressing and decompressing the file. In a disk cloning you can use the clone,...

    Kavi,

    You can either open a new thread or PM me. If the information is useful to others then a thread can serve as a record.

    Kavi ,

    If you have a hard disk that cannot be cloned using dd (this is to say it doesn't boot as the original) I would be interested to know.

    The nice thing about dd, which is available in...
  14. Sticky: Kavi, Welcome to Justlinux! Your point of...

    Kavi,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    Your point of some bad track table and other manufacturer information could reside in the electrontic interface of the hard disk is credible and possibly done by...

    has_te,

    In your original proposal the target disk has already some partition inside and you are cloning another "c" and "d" drives onto it.

    The MS system when booted up in the target will find...
  16. Sticky: It depends. In your case it is not a disk to...

    It depends.

    In your case it is not a disk to disk cloning as you "do" have other partitions in the original disk which is not available in the target (or recipient) disk. Thus the first sector or...
  17. Sticky: You seem to move the Windoze partition around and...

    You seem to move the Windoze partition around and this is not adisable. Every Xp has a hidden file called boot.ini staying which partition the system was originally installed and it is better not to...
  18. Sticky: The fdisk -l output shows that you have a hard...

    The fdisk -l output shows that you have a hard disk of 38913 cylinders and currently use from 1 to 19456 cylinders. That is about 50% of the capacity.

    You can use the unallocated space in either...

    JReese,

    Welcome to Justlinux!

    and

    Happy New Year.

    We need to know your partitioning scheme become able to comment on what you are doing. You can be assured that cloning the hard disk...

    gamblor01,

    It does sound that you have left it too late to salvage the disk.

    I believe there are several threads in JL that you can search to try out different combinations.

    I do echo the...

    This command

    dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=32256 conv=notrunc,noerror

    Instructs dd not to truncate the files and keep on going even there are errors

    You will get the whole disk cloned but...
  23. Sticky: If your sdc1 is a self-contained Linux then it...

    If your sdc1 is a self-contained Linux then it can be booted up without the swap partition but adding a swap does no harm. You will need to do the following tasks

    (1) Best way is to use a Linux...
  24. Sticky: If you clone a partition or the entire disk using...

    If you clone a partition or the entire disk using dd then you must remember it is a hardware type copying. In it the cloning procedure is controlled by counting sector by sector. This effectively...

    I couldn't fault your commands and the method is what I would use normally.

    However if your 250Gb disk sdb is failing then it is possible that filing access will be impeded by the corruption...
