Hey everyone,

So my gf's wip computer seems like it has a bad drive. (100% usage when not doing anything, and Windows can't see anything wrong with it.) My gf's newphie's old computer still has a good drive. I'm not sure if it's larger or smaller then the bad one, but I was planning on using dd on my main machine to simply copy all the data into the newer drive from the bad one, plus also I don't have Win8 cd key laying around. (gf wants to play games on it primarily)

Is there anything I need to watch out for when doing this? or should I be using another tool for the job?

Thanks,

Andrew
