Hi, my old 5gb Seagate drive with system is almost dead, i need to move system to new drive so I bought cf_to_sata converter and 8gb CF card

i know that address for the drive will change from hda to sda, how to handle this ?
generally: how to move structure from one drive to another ? i mean in linuks, or maybe i can simply use ghost ?

If you run a very old version of SMS with old libata and your disk recognized as /dev/hda you need to change /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf entries before booting you new disk...

To clone your disk, plug both disks, boot from SMS live cd, partition your new disk and mount disks with partitions like boot e.g.
Code:
mount /dev/hda2  /mnt/hda
mount /dev/hda1  /mnt/hda/boot


and do simple a
Code:
cp -a /mnt/hda/*  /mnt/sda/


and when it finishes run lilo after edit it with your new sda devices like
Code:
lilo -C /mnt/sda/etc/lilo.conf


shutodown, unplug your old disk and you are done...

If you need any help let me know..
