Any solution > would require me to boot from some other media? Definitely. After reading what Drake wrote, I guess the GParted CD should be your first choice, I remember I saw an earlier version of that CD doing a great job in guessing a lost partition table. The command I wrote initially is more or less a, slightly more CPU intensive, copy command, which takes care of all the permissions etc stuff, without making you any trouble. It has to be issued from a live CD, in the example with your old HD mounted to /mnt/OLD and your new one to /mnt/NEW. > Also, I really don't need to change any partitions sizes but I'm > unclear whether I am responsible for creating the partitions myself? > It seems with Dieter's solution I have to do that.
