New HDD help

Jenda:
OK, that done, and now:
How can I move my "/" partition, preferably from Ubuntu or the Ubuntu Live-CD?

Kintaro:
Just stick with MSDOS, and use a real distro for it I suggest. If you really wanted to be snazzy you could use a BSD disklabel.

And if you boot off the livecd you could probably get it to work with something (kinda) like this...
$ cp -R / /mnt (mnt being mounted to the harddisk, with all other partitions (if any) mounted in there).
$ chroot /mnt

$ grub-install
or
$ lilo

depending on whatever you have, you might have to change certain options and stuff for grub/lilo or actually get grub/lilo, read the docs for them and you should be right.

Jenda:
OK, thanks. I'll get down to it ASAP, i.e. tomorrow.
Wish me luck - exams tomorrow morning to get "reaccepted" to my school after being away so long.

solemnwarning:
fdisk + mke2fs (-j) = disk partitioning my way :)

Kintaro:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda

disk paritioning my way.
