Disk copy

[Scott]

I would like to copy an old disk to a new disk and both are the same size.
They are connected to the pc using USB ports. Can someone advise the
command to do so.

Thanks,

Scott

A command prompt (start menu), rightclicked to 'run as admin' will let you
use an xcopy command to copy everything. You need to look at the syntax of
xcopy by running the command :
xcopy /?

Open windows for each in separate windows. Select all files and folder in
the source window, then drag and drop these into the destination window. Is
that what you are asking?

Quite trivial. Boot a Linux Live CD and use

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

of course, a and b may be different depending on the exact configuration.
