To transplant the drive to another computer?
I've done that, but you have to beware that you can install a system
that won't work (without some fiddling) on another computer. I've been
lucky that there was only a minimum of fiddling required, but it's
possible to create a system that can't read the hard drive, and you need
to know how to rebuild the initrd to resolve it.
I'm reminded that I built a disk image of the proper size on a KVM virtual
machine, and then used the adaptor and dd to do the "install," with seek time
issues minimized by a pure sequential write. THat was KVM from cli, I have no
idea if you could do that from any of the GUI tools.
