Don't forget about G4U as well, I've used it to do exactly what you're asking and it worked a treat. It did a "bit by bit" copy and after an hour and a half of disk activity, a quick shutdown, cable swap and reboot it worked all perfectly. http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ -- www.modmeup.net Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono
