Hello,
I've got a CentOS 4.4 box that it's drive is dying. This machine has
a lot of customizations done to it, custom configs and the like and i'd
rather not have to do a full reinstall or manually copy over settings
files. What i'm wondering is is there a way i can set up the new disk,
make it bootable, then transfer the entire system over to it? I would
then pull out the failing drive set the new one to be master, and go on
with things?
Recently i've had to do this on a FreeBSD system for pretty much the
same reason, all data and settings went over fine and i'd like to have
the same success here.
Thanks.
Dave.
There's a howto here:

I haven't used it for several years but I think it will still work.
