[NTLUG:Discuss] How to move data from one drive to another

[John Thomas]

I find myself in the embarassing position of having bought too small a 
hard drive when I bought my computer a few months ago.  It's a Dell 
workstation running the Red Hat workstation distribution.  The drive is 
a 36 GB SCSI.   The SCSI card is U320.  I want to add another 72 GB drive.

My naive thought is to install the 72 gig drive as the second drive, use 
dd to image the existing disk onto it, and then swap the drives.  Is the 
possible, or, if so, the best way to  go?
