All,



Before I start I have seen many questions regarding how to exchange Linux from one hard drive to another however, my questions is slightly different.



I have two drives:



  1. External SDD > Arch Linux > sdb1/2/3 for the OS, Swap, and Storage

  2. Internal SDD hybrid > Windows 7 on sda1.

Anyone have any resources that I can read, or any experience with this?



I basically want to copy sdb1/2/3 into sda2 (or sda 2/3/4)



would a dd work? I prefer to keep windows 7 since WINE sucks on my arch for some reason.



Thanks in advaced, sorry if this has been asked before I looked and have not found any.
