Trying to clone drive put it in another computer
#6
OP

Its not clear to me either whether the drives are of equal size. Maybe more info might be useful?  As it does affect the interesting suggestion from N4RPS.

I shall waffle on.

you can use dd command but UUID has to be changed in at least 2 files
/etc/fstab
/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Richard B has already mentioned the blkid command that most live cds can use including LL. Also you must not have any partition of drive 1 or 2 mounted so unmount them in by pressing the "eject" button in LL filemanager .....there are commands that can be used but lets keep it simple?

but why not try out LL version 3?  Is there some kind of special religion here as I am new to LL forums?  thats a joke people!  ;D

any how the dd command is...as root
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb conv=notrunc,noerror

then go into the unmounted second drive and fix up the UUID entries
you can also avoid UUID in fstab by going back to /dev/sdan structure but grub is not so friendly and expects UUID AFAIK
Good Luck
