Hello. I currently have absolute linux on hda and antix on hdb. Both drives are 140 gigs. I also have an old 200 gig hdd that I converted to a usb drive. I was using it to back up my files on both systems, but it is now full. So I bought a 1 tb usb drive and am in the process of backing all of it up (formatted to ext3 as I saw on google searches). So I started thinking that I may want to swap a 140 gig drive with the 200 gig drive. So I have two choices as I see it:

1. Swap the absolute drive, install salix on the 200 gig drive (I like it a bit better than absolute), then update grub.

2. Swap the absolute drive, move antix to the 200 gig drive, test it, install salix to the old antix drive, then update grub.

If I go with option 1, it's the easiest. Option 2 is a little harder since I'm sure of the best way to"move" antix to the new drive. Any ideas?

Note: The decision comes down to this: I have mostly mp3 and game roms on my antix install. I have mostly pictures and movies on my absolute install. So whichever set of files take up more space is the system I want on the 200 gig drive. Originally, my mp3s required more space, but now we are taking a lot of pictures and movies or our daughter so that is requiring more space.

I've never used it but the 'Copy Partition' in antixCC > Disks shouldn't serve for that?

Option 2 is a little harder since I'm sure of the best way to"move" antix to the new drive. Any ideas?

I am interpreting"I'm sure" to"I'm not sure"

My idea below

I have never done this either. So good luck with it.
