Default Re: Copy img to hd : is this way right ?

I prefer master vs cs.
Both drives on the cable must be set. If you use cs the end of cable is master.

The cable doesn't matter. Your choice 40 or 80

Most boot from the Knoppix CD
then launch terminal from there.
"dmesg|grep hd" is used to get drive id's

I use the ls cmd to get a directory listing to make sure i'm on the right drive.

I have had problems mounting NTSF partitions. So use a FAT32, it's easier.

You are correct on every thing but count=25 not 25000 onless you want to copy 25 gig.

Use every HD????

If you have 2 cd players, you could burn a cd with the image and mount the cd. That way you only will have one HD in the system. So if something goes wrong you won't damage your boot drive. Whis is a good thing.

There have been many users that have wiped out their original drives because they got there a & b crossed.

The instruction are in the wiki section, you can print them out for reference.
