Replacing hard drive on Series 3 using MFSLive Linux

I am following Ross Walker's instructions found here.



When I type:

Code:

---

backup -qTao - /dev/sdb | restore -s 128 -xzpi - /dev/sda

---

I get the following error:

Code:

---

Backup: Unknown MSF partition device /dev/hdc2.

To attempt backup anyway, try again with -E. -s is implied by -E.

---

I am trying to fix a Series 3 for a friend. I am using the original drive my from Premiere (I upgraded it when I bought it a few years ago).



Do I need to format the "new" drive (the original drive from my Premiere) before I do the above command?



(Edit: the old drive appears to be ~250GB; the replacement drive is around 320GB)



(I have the drives hooked up differently; the NEW drive in my setup is the larger of the two and is sda)



I tried the '-E' command line option, but could not figure out the proper syntax.



I also tried:

Code:

---

backup -f 9999 qso - /dev/sdb | restore -s 128 -xzpi - /dev/sda

---

and got the same error.





Thanks for any help you can provide.
