Gdiskdump does not show harddrives, only partitions

  • 772

I can see partitions but not even one harddisk.

How can I see my harddisks and clone them?

  1. Gdiskdump shows you have three HDDs: sdb, sdc, sdd.

    also try gparted and parted.

    To clone a drive and all partitions, including MBR or GPT:

    BE CAREFUL with dd! You can easily make a mistake.

    make sure its unmounted ( like when using a liveusb)

    dd if=/dev/<device> of=filename.you.choose

    To get a specific partition:

    dd if=/dev/sdxn of=filename  where sdxn is something like sdb1 or sdc6

    to restore:

    dd if=your.filename of=/dev/device[partition#] ( e.g. /dev/sdb3)
