Transferring to a new HD
I intend to upgrade my primary hard drive soon, and move my current HD to an IDE interface card; Currently, I have Red Hat installed on /dev/hda4. My plan is to use Norton Ghost out of Windows to copy the current /dev/hda to the new hard disk and then format the old one and use all of it for Red Hat--Is it possible to transfer /dev/hda4 to the old hard disk, or do I have to reinstall Red Hat from scratch?

You can do it with the 'cp' command, have a look here for more info.

Thanks :)

I think the dump/restore trick will work well too (partition by partition)...
cd /dest dump 0f - / | restore -rf - (dumps root filesystem to /dest) Just make /dest your new drive. |
