Avoid dd in this situation. It won't forgive slight geometry and
partition differences. Here's what you do.
- - Remove the 6G, install the 60G.
- - Boot to Windows 98 floppy.
- - Use fdisk to create 6G primary on the new disk.
- - Reboot, and 'format c:\ /u /s'.
- - Make sure you can now boot to DOS.
- - Shut down, and install the 6G drive as a secondary disk, preferably
on a second controller. If you only have one controller (unlikely),
make it a slave to the new disk.
- - Install Linux, not disturbing either the secondary 6G disk or the
new 6G primary on the new disk.
- - Log in to your new system as root, and figure out where your
secondary disk is. If it's on a second controller, it's /dev/hdc;
if it's a slave to the new disk, it's /dev/hdb. I'll assume that it's
hdc.
Then do this:
# mkdir /mnt/oldwin /mnt/newwin
# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/newwin
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/oldwin
# cd /mnt/oldwin
# tar cf - . | (cd /mnt/newwin && tar xvf -)
Make sure you can boot into Windows (which LILO will call
"DOS", if you haven't changed it). If so, shut down, remove the 6G,
and you're done.
