I have ordered a replacement Windows CD from Dell.. since installing
linux blew away the option to restore windows.
the old drive is 1TB, the new replacement drive is 3TB.. how would I
image the entire drive?? clonezilla? I have only used that to do
partitions... and now my new fedora "/" is on the new drive..
