Hello hello!
I currently have Ubuntu 8 installed on an IDE drive in my pc, tho the drive is beginning to make noises similar to the click of death...so, I have bought an 8gig usb drive with the hope of transferring the installation currently sitting on my IDE drive over to the new USB drive, so that it's not too late when the drive finally dies :-)
Anyone have any idea the best way to go about this? I have split the root and home paritions on the current drive if thats any help. The only tutorials I can find are to do with brand new installs and not actually moving an existing installation.
Any help (or pointers in the right direction) would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
