Also..

What I'm trying to do, is image the int drive to the ext.. Thought I had read that gparted did this, but not finding the option while booted from the livecd..

Re: Dumb question

at this moment you can only image partitions (look for copy and paste), but not entire drives.
Keep an eye on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344347 that's where we track progress on this issue.

Re: Dumb question

OK...

(sorry if I'm being a bit dense)

So sda is indeed the ext drive.. And I can copy/paste (see it now, just wasn't the terms I was looking for) the C partition to the ext drive... Can I then add a copy of the D partition to the ext drive? (doing this as separate opperations)


thanks
