Okay, I've initiated the cloning using your commands in Ubuntu. I currently have a flashing cursor in the terminal window on the next line after the CAT command which is all I've seen for the past 2 hours. Is this what should be there? I can't really tell what, if anything is going on with the hard drives although the HD light on the front of the case is on with some constant flickering. How long might this take with 2 PATA drives transferring roughly 100GB? I believe the cloning utilities were taking about 2 hours so I would hope this would be similar.

Edit: It seems to be done now. I'll do the sync ; halt -p and see what happens.

So far it's booting fine. I've expanded the drive to include the unallocated space. Only time will tell if it will keep working or fail like all the others.

Thanks again everyone for all of your help! If it dies again, I'll post here and let you know.
