Digging up an old thread here....

Quote:
That would work, assuming that the boot process doesn't choke when it doesn't detect a cdrom on boot.

However, that wouldn't make for easy backups if you want to keep an updated copy.

If anyone wants to give this method a shot, you should know the following commands:

mkdir /mnt/hdb
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb
cp -r /drive0 /mnt/hdb


Those commands... hdb would be whatever drive is plugged in place of the CD ROM drive? In other words, if I initialize a fresh drive using the "restore to as new" CD, then I plug the old drive back in its original spot and put the new blank drive in place of the CD-ROM, then those commands copy the songs from the old drive to the new drive?

Anyone actually done this?

(I'm going to be upgrading the drive on my Central with an extra 60 I've got lying around, and I'm looking for the best way to preserve the songs.)
