copy hdd to external hdd
I tried copying hdd to external hdd. There was a difference in the volume of info copied. The original hdd used about 12 GB and the copy only ended up with 7 GB. Am I missing some important information on the copy? I slaved the hard drive to my computer to do the copy.

sounds like you missed all the hidden files in the OS, and other software hidden files.

just copying will not get everything, you need to eather do a back-up to the external drive or use a clonning software to get everything from one drive to the other.
