Migrate TCL from a faulty usb pendrive
« on: March 19, 2013, 05:39:42 AM »
Hello All,

I've got a little question about the migration of an existing TCB installed on a 2Gb small pendrive.

The last week it begun to show read/write errors at boot time (bad inodes, bad file offsets, etc...) so, I think that the pendrive is a little bit faulty and I want to copy the whole content to another bigger (and best quality) pendrive.

So my question is: Is there a method to copy the whole contents of the old pendrive to the new one, without loose anything (including the boot sectors, configuration, etc...)?

Many thanks in advance.

I agree that this is probably a warning of bad things to come, but did you try to fix the errors using "fsck"?

Yep. I've just do a fsck but the problems appears again... thanks for the tip!
