After reading on threads, I'm still confused and need your help. My laptop is Lenovo G580 20157 - 2 Hard Drives (sda and sdb)
sda(500GB) - SSD
sdb(250GB) - Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
I want to copy/clone my OS to SSD using: dd command sudo dd bs=4M conv=sync,noerror status=progress if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda
As stated my OS is on sdb which I will use to execute the command in terminal.
- Can I execute the command while using the live running OS(sdb) to clone it into sda?
- After clone, does my previous hard disk(sdb) still have the OS and files - no changes?
Sadly, I can't boot clonezilla and gparted on bootable cd/flash drives because of bios issue.
Any comments/suggestion will be much appreciated thanks in advance guys keep safe :)
