How do I transfer Linux to a new hard drive?
The way I do it when I switch to a new HDD is:
- create the partition layout I want on the new drive.
- boot from Live CD/USB or install, rescue etc.
- mount the old hard disk partition(s) to be copied to, say, /mnt/a.
- mount the new hard disk partition(s) to receive files to, say /mnt/b.
