The last 2 lines say that /dev/sdb5 is mounted to this Old Hard Drive somehow. I did not do this. /etc/fsack did not do this. So not sure what

Yes you did. See your opening mail of the thread titled 'dd and cp -a' in which you say that you mounted it to /mnt, but didn't mention how. I am assuming you made it permanent by adding it to fstab. And if you did this, dd'ing the partition would take this setting over to the new drive.

Guys I am getting a information overload. My question is simple now. If I do it right is it possible to use dd to make a copy of this F7 to another Hard Drive?

Also you NEVER mount a partition that your dd transfering too. It finds it fine.
