That boils down to about the same effort as a complete re-install onto a new HD, plus Linux is quite nerdy, requires you to know the magic command line Swahili with which I am not familiar.
Bulloney. Linux distros support archival retrieval, and copying that
volume to another will yield a perfect, functional, bootable copy. No
re-installs required, no magic words. Linux installations are typically
image copies for most applets and applications that get installed. Not
much gets compiled during the installation runtime.
Yeah, to a Linux expert probably. But when I looked at an instruction on the web on how to do a mirror archive of a Windows machine using a Knoppix CD in order to dump that back onto a new hard drive that was at least two pages of intricate command line stuff.

You just switched up!

You said a LINUX installation.

WHY are you now talking about a WINDOWS mirror session?

In my origianl post, quote "No XP disks came with this machine, meaning I must mirror".


Let alone that booting up Knoppix DVD 5.3 and copying a hard drive
never seemed like an 'intricate' command line session for me.

Note that most hard drives allow a full, bit-for-bit copy of an
existing volume. You could do that, it would boot. Then re-size it to
the desired size.

Yes, you are probably right, John has described the procedure. Looks like I have to mail-order a hard drive from Newegg or some other place. Came back from a client yesterday and stopped at three stores. Two of them had shut down (!). No dice.

You have no "Office Depot" stores?


I went there on Tuesday. It has become an empty parking lot :-(
