Untouchable HDD noise on Laptop as having age.

I give a priority to change HDD as SDD for out of noise.

But my debian system is too heavy to reconfigure.

One of the disk copy between HDD is through "cat" commnand.

# cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/sda2

or

# dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup , dd if=backup of=/dev/sda2

Other is backup image of HDD through "tar".

# cd /
# tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/media --exclude=/sys /

Then copy this tar into new HDD and extract it.

# cd $(new_HDD)
# tar xvpjf backup.tar.bz2 -C /
# mkdir proc
# mkdir lost+found
# mkdir mnt
# mkdir sys
# mkdir media
