I need to clone a hard-drive which is simple enough but i also need to clone the physical hard-drive serial number as well to the new hard-drive, is this even possible?

It won't copy the serial number.Doug G wrote:dd in linux can create a complete clone of a hard drive.
If you mean the hardware serial number in the drive's firmware, I'm sure there isn't any way to copy that to another disk. But if you mean the drive uuid or volume serial, dd can clone everything from the source disk including mbr and partition tables.VladSun wrote:It won't copy the serial number.Doug G wrote:dd in linux can create a complete clone of a hard drive.
