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

[John Thomas]

Thanks for all the advice, guys.  I see now that dd won't work since the 
disk geometries will be different.

I didn't think of the idea of simply moving, say /home, to the new 
drive.  Should I use fdisk to format the drive as Linux FS and then make 
a /home partition there?  Will the kernel find /home  on whatever drive 
it is on?  (Home is where most of the data is, partly because I'm 
running XP under VMWare).

This would be simple, since I could continue to use the small drive to boot.
