Hi,

We shall use 'dd' command

"dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sda5"

then edit grub....i think this should work.

Otherwise we can also use "cp -rvfp source-partition destination partition"
then edit grub and boot.

Good day to all of you.
I need help in the following matter.
Ubuntu has been installed in /dev/sda3 which is about 100 gb.
Need to transfer the same to another partion which is /dev/sda5 size 45 gb.
what is the best method to follow without installing it again.

thanks in advance
