will "dd" do this
 

I am trying to move my win2003 server to a bigger hdd. Partition magic and norton ghost both won't work on this system (errors and such).

I had used dd in the past to move bios and file systems around on my ipod. Will this command do what I need for my server?

like:
power off and connect drives such that they are the only two in the system. Boot with Suse live cd. Use the dd command

What params will I use? How many blocks shall I tell it to move? Can I get the numbers from fdisk (do they represent the same size). What will the syntax look like?

Or, is there some other tool that will do the job (free)?

thx

dd will copy it to the exact same size, so probably isn't
what you need (unless you later on use a tool to extend
the partition to the full size of the drive). An alternative
would be to use partimage.


Cheers,
