So I finally have my xbmc setup all ironed out... new skins, 1080p backdrops, fixed library titles/artwork, fixed screen resolutions, mount HDs, etc. and first of all, i have to say that I LOVE IT!!!

Now my question is this: originally i set all this up on a flash drive, but after making my htpc look a little prettier, I'm leaning toward trying to install it on a separate partition on the hard drive. Is there any way that I can transfer everything to the hard drive so i don't have to redo all my work?

I would think that the tricky part would be to copy over the MBR or something like that.

Thanks!

there are several options. below i'm describing a way that should point you into a direction/gives you a short overview (it's not a detailed step by step guide):

1. attach both drives to your system
2. boot a livecd and jump into a terminal
3. mount both drives/partitions of your choice to e.g. /mnt/source and /mnt/target (not needed in case of dd usage)
4. get the data from source to target:

• use dd (man dd), OR
• use cp (man cp), OR
• use rsync (man rsync)

5. adjust /etc/fstab to your needs
6. install bootloader on your new drive

there are tons of detailed guides out in the web.
