I have a old IDE 2 GB hard disk with many bad sector. Now I have bay
a new SCSI 2 GB hard disk. Witch way is the best to transfer the
debian:
1) A new installation and then copy only the /home, /usr/local and /etc
directories.
2) create the same partitions on the new disk; then dd
if=/dev/old-partition
of=/dev/new-partition.
3) create the partitions on the new disk, then
( cd /old && tar cfSp - * ) | ( cd /new && tar xfSpv - )
What's about the files how was damaged by the bad sectors?
