I've got a 1TB external hdd on my 9241 that is about to die so I want to copy it to a new 2TB external. I've been searching and not been able to find a definitive answer. Please help? Thanks!

It's also possible to copy the files using Linux. Format the new drive on the 9241. Then connect both drives to a Linux box and copy the programs over. They will be large files in the larger (500GB or so) partitions. Restoring and archiving with the 9241 is a simpler option. Both methods take a long time.
