Can I "move" Ubuntu to another drive?
I have U 7.04 on hd1 (40Gig) (slave) This drive is +/- 6 years old.
Hd0 (master) is an 80Gig drive with two partitions of 40Gig each and about a month old.
The first partition has Win2000 on it, the second is empty. I'm not using Windows anymore and it's time to GO!!!
Grub is probably on Hd0 as well duel booting Win and Ubuntu beautifully.
I want to "move" Ubuntu to the 80Gig (hd0) (master) drive deleting Windows, and keeping my setup and installed Ubuntu programs, email, etc..
Is it possible?
Keep in mind I'm a newbie to linux and Ubuntu.
What I'm thinking is to do a "new" install (Live CD - Desktop) to the master drive giving Ubuntu (7.04) the whole 80Gig and then just copying the entire Ubuntu drive (from the slave) over the new installation.
My Windows mind-set tells me this will not work due to hidden files, files that are unmoveable etc etc.
Any advice?
