Migrate from IDE to SATA

[Stephen Brown Jr]

I would say if you are just interested in copying your / partition would be
to install and mount the drive, copy everything over from your / partition
to the new drive, and then perform a chroot on it and update /etc/fstab. Not
sure how that would work though as I have never done it myself.......

Hope that helps.
