Hi,
Could someone please advise me on migrating my Ubuntu partitions to a different HDD. I currently have partitions for "swap" (1Gb), "/" (15Gb) and "/home" (15Gb) on an HDD along with 2 NTFS partitions. I'd like to move Ubuntu to a dedicated 80Gb HDD if possible.
How would I transfer or install all the drivers and apps which I currently use? Is it sensible to do a fresh installation on the 80Gb, then transfer /home and the APT files from /var/cache/apt to the new installation? I don't want to have to re-download all the packages again.
I'll also have to figure out how to point my OS and software to the new partitions.
Thanks for any help!
