Re: Cloning a WinXP partition with just Linux?

Most, if I am not mistaken, new hd's come with some
sorta transfer utility. I know that Maxtor does as I
bought a 40gig last year and the cd worked just fine
to 'mirror/transfer' all the files and it allowed me
to partition if I wanted to or it would take all the
new hd as one partition.

Hitachi Deskstar hd also that a friend bought come to
think of it. And I know Western Digital also has a cd
also.

The box from maxtor called the cdrom 'MaxBlast
installation software', fyi.

Cyclists should expect and demand safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.

Nothing more is expected.

Nothing less is acceptable!
