HOW-TO GHOST (Symantec)your 20gig HD
- Buy Norton Ghost (can get it off Symantec website).
- Get a laptop drive adapter for your PC IDE cable (about $5-15)
- Remove the PJB drive from the PJB.
- Plug the PJB drive into the PC's IDE-to-laptop-drive adapter.
- Boot up using the Norton Ghost disk.
- Use Ghost's sector-by-sector complete drive copy option to transfer all the PJB drive data to your PC's hard drive as a Ghost image file (make sure you have enough space)!
- Get out your Toshiba drive. Power down your PC and swap the PJB drive for the Toshiba drive on the IDE-to-laptop drive adapter.
- Book up using the Norton Ghost disk again.
- This time, do a sector-by-sector copy to transfer the Ghost image file on your PC hard drive to the Toshiba drive.
Pull the Toshiba drive off your PC and drop it into the PJB.
As long as you are sure to transfer the data BOTH times with sector-by-sector complete drive copy options, then the Toshiba drive will act exactly like your old PJB drive once you install it in the PJB.The only difference is that your max space will now be 20GB! The PJB will automatically add new songs to the end of the data you transferred from your old drive - totally seamless.

HOW-TO "dd" using LINUX
I haven't done this myself, so something important might be missed..
.. but when both disks are connected and linux is succesfully booted,
only remaining step with dd is to copy original disk as a whole to
the new drive
dd if=/dev/hdX of=/dev/hdY bs=8k
This copies data from hdX to hdY. hdX and hdY should naturally be
replaced by real device names like this
hda - primary master
hdb - primary slave
hdc - secondary master
hdd - secondary slave
I'm not sure what the default block size in dd is but 8kb is
probably fine. Couldn't get any easier really.
