ddrescue 1tb drive to 2tb drive?
by comcastuser from LinuxQuestions.org on (#596D4)
I have a dying MBR-based 1tb drive with 4 partitions (system recovery, Windows, some unknown one and a 2mb spare) that I want to move to a new 2tb drive.
How would I pull this off? Would I just do
ddrescue -vv -d -r 3 /dev/sdx /backupfile.img ~/backup.log
and then
ddrescue -vv -f /backupfile.img /dev/sdx ~/restore.log?
?
What would I do next to make sure it will boot on the Windows laptop?
