Need advice on moving Ubuntu Partition
Hi,
I have a 320gb harddrive with a dual boot Windows XP/Ubuntu 8.04 setup. My Windows O/S became hopelessly corrupted and so I have swapped over to my spare 200gb Hdd and have transferred my files to it after a new install of Windows XP. I now have the 200gb drive as master in my pc and the 320gb drive is now being used as an external drive via USB.
Trouble is now I do not know how to transfer my Ubuntu partition from the 320bb external to the 200gb drive in my pc. I guess I could use the Ubuntu live Cd to do a fresh install but I was hoping to keep all my settings, preferences and files. So is it possible to just transfer the whole Ubuntu partition to the new drive, and if so what would be the easiest way to do this?
I have googled for answers and have become confused by the amount of info available. I do have a live Cd of Gparted and was wondering if this is the best tool to use as some people seem to suggest?
Regards,
Bluey.
