Clonezilla
Create a clonezilla usb drive

Boot with clonezilla live via usb,

local_disk to local_disk clone
sfck (skip checking sectors - we know disk is good).
Test the new disk by boot it up.
The labeled and package the disk. - will use it as a bigdog replacement.
Bigdogh returned to its orginal setup.

Setup the hostname, and IP as bigdog:
1. boot up the guidedogh disk.

/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
