Hardware - moving kanotix from one hdd to another

Titel: moving kanotix from one hdd to another
What is the best and fastest way to move my current Kanotix installation on my older ide hdd over to a new sata hdd without loosing any data?

I had another sata hdd that I didn't touch since it had a lot of back up files.... so now my hdd configuration :

-sata 320gb formated as reiserfs as the first hdd
(Kanotix sees this as "sda")

-sata 200gb formated as ntfs with 90gb back up files
(which should be "sdb" but kanotix doesn't see it at all)

-ide 80gb where Kanotix lives (set up as hdg)

I can't seem to be able to access my ntfs formated "sdb" so I can't do a back up either...

Below is my /etc/fstab"
Code:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0

/dev/hdg2       /home           reiserfs

/dev/hdg3       /data           reiserfs

/dev/hdg4       none            swap    sw              0       0

Delete this crap:

/dev/sda /media/sda reiserfs
/dev/sdb /media/sdb ntfs ro,umask=000 0 0

Run:

rebuildfstab

Are you positive it's not seen?
Code:
fdisk -l

Thanks Verlegen fdisk seems to id the three hdd I have:
hdg where kanotix lives
sda is the new hdd
sdb is ntfs and where winxp back up files are

However, I can't seem to get the new hdd to format to its full capacity as 320gb!

To get the new hdd initilialize as 320gb, I first used :
cfdisk /dev/sda

then
mkreiserfs /dev/sda

when I log as root, using krusader, I can only see under /media/
/media/floppy
/media/cdrom
/media/sda1 - ? only few kb in size
/media/sda2 - ? about 17gb in size
/media/sdb1 - seems to be the "sdb" where the ntfs files live

Can I get some assistance with backing up some of the files from sdb to sda then move Kanotix from hdg to sda.

cheers

Well that you should never do! Sure you can write a filesystem to an entire drive but it needs partitions! You should always have a partition number.
Code:
mkreiserfs /dev/sda1
for example not just /dev/sda.

yeap, not having used the partition number was the problem.
cfdisk then mkreiserfs for both sda1 and sdb1 worked like they should. Verlegen

Second issue: Is it possible to just move the Kanotix from one hdd to another?

Yea it is, but you'd have to edit your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst ... and depending on what you are doing you may also have to reinstall grub to the mbr of the new hard drive.
