One thing for sure is:
U won't be able to use back the previous MBR, don't be sad:
All u need to do is use a bootable linux disk and copy all ur linux files to their respective partitions using the option:
=========Example ONLY: Coz it's my LINUX System ok
========
cp -avx /mnt/srcdirectory_oldharddisk /mnt/destdirectory_newharddisk
And then,
Change ur lilo.conf on the new harddisk, just in case u have multiple os, point the out.
Reapply ur lilo now. How?
/sbin/lilo -r /mnt/destdirectory_newharddisk
(If this command doesn't work for u, try using -c option and point the full path or ur lilo.conf file.i.e.:
/sbin/lilo -C /mnt/destdirectory_newharddis/etc/lilo.conf
)
Got it?
Im typing this short help on the spot, so forgive me if i have some typing errors or i did miss out something.
However the 100% works, coz im doing it for encrypted filesystems so many times that i got white hairs waiting for the slow copy to finish.
Actually another way is to use, "dd" command, i wont tell u here as it's very dangerous to use and u must be very familiar with ur harddisk. One wrong command means ur whole harddisk data bye bye.
