As the title says, all I want to do is replace an old hard disk with a newer, bigger hard disk. I never imagined such a simple task could be a problem.

First I thought I'd try the free cloning software "driveimage xml" to copy old to new. After copying the new drive was neither bootable or even readable.

So then I tried the Seagate software from their website but it told me I would lose all data I had already copied to the other partitions of the new drive before it even started copying.

Next Norton Ghost. Copying seemed to go well except that the new boot partition is resized to be the same size as the old boot partition even though I explicitly told it to not do so. The resulting partition was readable in Windows but neither bootable nor readable in the Windows XP boot CD command line mode.

So then I wanted to go oldschool: boot CD and then xcopy the files followed with fdisk fix mbr. Turns out neither the XP CD or the Windows ME Boot disk actually contains xcopy...

So what's next? As you can see by this post I have already wasted way too much time on what I thought would be a simple task. Why should it be this hard to replace a frigging hard drive and why is there so much software out there that doesn't work?

Now I've downloaded the Knoppix live CD but being unexperienced with Linux I've decided to ask for advice here before trying anything. Thanks for any help.

Looks great! Thx.

Translate or I'll report you for... err.. discriminating against all non-polish LFS users.

MRT = Formula SAE

Yeah, that's a car for slaloms and design judges, not for races.

UF1 is slower than GTi...

I don't count MRT as a racing car but I can't think of a way to rebut your UF1 claim.

I'd say real racers don't use it because many racing cars don't have a speedo and because reading it would shift their focus too much in terms of distance.

On the other hand I think it can be a useful piece of information to check how you are doing through a certain corner. But you would need to have a HUD projector so that you don't have to shift your focus too much. Quite possible that it simply hasn't been tried in real racing.

Yeah, lock her back to demo when you go (tell her you won't be able to play if you don't). Then you can still decide if you want to upgrade her to S2 if she shows some desire to have more than the demo cars.

The idea is that the demo should give you a taste of what S2 has to offer. It has the slowest front wheel drive road car, the slowest rear wheel drive road car and the slowest single seater racing car.

This means that if you want a more powerful rear wheel drive road car for drifting purposes then you need to buy the full version. I think that anyone who actually owns a PC should be able to pay for LFS if he want's to. Maybe the large variety of cars and tracks in the full version of LFS will even lead to a much richer environment for drifters if the scene shifts from demo to S2?
