• Copy a linux install
    0 replies, posted
So my hard drive crashed on me a while back and I installed ubuntu to a 4gb usb hard drive to work off of while a new drive came in. The usb install worked great (up and running in less than one hour: suck it Ballmer!) but when I try to do a fresh install to the new drive (dual booting xp and linux, xp installed first so I have grub working flawlessly) I keep going into recovery mode, or at least that is what I am assuming as I just get a command line. Since I have grub already pointing to a ubuntu install on my hard drive, can I just [code]$ sudo cp -afv /path/to/source/* /path/to/destination [/code] And copy my usb install to my new hard drive without any problems?
