That should work EXCEPT that he can no longer boot
the machine bue to
the failed disk drive. He needs to mount the drive in another machine and
duplicate it there. However, it's very unlikely that he'll be able to find
a machine that can read the old drive and correctly interpret the data.
Therefore, he needs to find a way to just read it as raw data and make an
EXACT copy of it on the new drive. The copy will have to be exact since it
will include the i-node tables and all the other things that make up a Unix
file system. That's why I suggested one of the disk duplicating programs
like Ghost.
Aha, so that was the missing link. I'm sorry for being so thick.
