<div dir="ltr">I have a failing disk in a Lenovo ThinkCentre A57. It has a WD 320GB drive. I'm wondering whether I can boot the PC from Linux and backup the system using tar and restore to a different harddrive. Then try to boot the PC from the restored drive. All I can find is another WD but a 250GB one. What's my chances of success? Would a re-install be easier? I thought of dd too but I'm guessing that the drives would have to be the same size.<div>
