Live CD Rescues Me Again

With one of my hard drives apparently failing, I found myself turning once again the the wonderful Mepis live CD.

Using the Mepis 8.0 live CD, I used gparted and rsync, applications that are both included on the CD. I formatted a new hard drive with gparted, then used both applications to copy data from my old partitions to the new drive.

Worked out wonderfully. I'm back up and running, and all system are go. Can't say enough about how important live Linux CDs are to me.
