Yes, too slow!
Anyway this was only for testing purposes. I guess that if I left it workin=
g=20
enough time (days?), dd would have done its job.
But I found a better solution: creating recovery CDs from the utility on th=
e=20
preinstalled Windows, and "recover" Windows on the second drive. This shoul=
d=20
clone the hard drive, I guess. Then I can install Linux on the first hard=
=20
drive.
And if that's too much trouble, I'll forget it and just install Linux on th=
e=20
second hard drive.
