Hi!

I have freeBSD installed on my HD, as well as some other stuff
(Windows 95, games e.t.c). I'm selling my HD and getting new one. I
will have BOTH HD's in my computer for couple of days. 

I want to move EVERYTHING from the first one to the new one. 
What is the fastest and safest way to do that? Is there a thing that
would do byte-copying from one disk to another (since there are 2
OS's).

If it comes to that, I can reinstall Windows 95 and other stuff, but I
would really prefer not to reinstall freeBSD (downloading and all that
set-up took me a whole day).

So, PLEASE Help!! Anyone had the same problem??? (I'm sure someone did)

Thanks a lot,
