Then ideally, it will show that /dev/sdb has no partition table. dev/sda is your original 160 GB drive with partitions. dev/sdb (750 GB drive) is plugged into SATA port 2 dev/sda (160GB boot drive) is plugged into SATA port 0 You might be doing this simply for backup. Here is an over-simplified answer, where I either never used gparted to resize the partition, or I did but now have done it again to bring it back down to size.įor instance, if you take a 160 GB drive (/dev/sda) and copy it to a 750 GB drive (/dev/sdb) - which I did to get faster booting on a 7200 rpm drive. (Note that all the below should be done by booting your original installation DVD and using the LiveCD option so the drives in question are not mounted.) Yes, as long as the partitions will fit so do not need to be resized by dd.
