So I have Ubuntu and Windows 7 on a 500GB hard drive setup for dual boot. Recently some of the sectors on the Windows 7 partition of the drive went bad. I want to upgrade the hard drive I have now to a 2TB one and also get rid of the sector issue at the same time.

What would be the best (and safest) way to go about transferring the whole system to a new, larger hard drive?

  • How to move Windows to a different partition is off topic on Ask Ubuntu but welcome over on [SU]. – David Foerster Jun 29 '17 at 09:18

  • @ravery: "What would be the best (and safest) way to go about transferring the whole system to a new, larger hard drive?" – To me that sounds like it refers to all operating system installations on that machine which is Ubuntu and Windows. – David Foerster Jun 29 '17 at 09:21

clonezilla is an excellent software for duplicating drives.

get a bootable image here http://clonezilla.org

burn the image to disk. and boot it. it supports all file systems
