I'm trying to switch to working on linux permanently and keep my windows drive for gaming in my spare time.
I have a 40GB partition on my C:/ drive where I've installed Linux Mint, the rest of the drive is taken up with the windows partition. I've quickly filled up the 40GB and get regular prompts that the file system is running low on storage. I blanked a spare harddrive in my machine and want to transfer the linux partition across to it but I'm not sure what steps to take and I'm a little uneasy about messing up anything to do with the boot record. Does anyone have any guidance they can offer on this or a decent tutorial I could follow.
If you require any more specific details please let me know.
