for those interested in disk imaging.... - 05/07/10 03:45 PM
I have found a program (well, not found its one I bought for use on my PC)
That will successfully perform disk imaging of the MS hard drive...
Copies the image EXACTLY as it is, so if you ever change a hard drive, or are like me and just like to make regular images for backup purposes (and its a far far better system than JUST a backup, which really only backups data) you find it useful.
I first had the idea when I noticed that when running a disk restore on my PC, the program actually boots into a mini Linux kernel, so I thought... "I wonder???"
So I tried booting the MS with the boot disk, and yep, it runs sweet on the MS, and then allows me to do a full hard disk image (ext's swap..all of it) to an external backup USB drive...
So if anyone is interested I can send you futher details......

PS: I had a message from Dom to syaay he will not be available for replies here, for about a day (maybe a little more) as he is busy getting the new 4.2 ready for us....
