Disk imaging for XP system
Hello All I have an XP system which I want to migrate from a 250GB IDE drive to a 500GB SATA drive, is there a live CD and package that would allow me to do that, I have tried Norton Ghost (2003) but that can't see the SATA drive, and I have also tried Powerquest partition magic image center with no luck because that barfs on some directory entry. WIll dd or some other program do the job or will I have to try to find some other package? Thanks Chris -- IBA #15631 ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
RE: Disk imaging for XP system
New versions of Acronis will support SATA drives, as will newer versions of Ghost. I'm wondering if Clonezilla might work, as well?

Migrating windows XP partitions as well as linux partitions to a new larger harddrive for my old Dell 600m one hard drive in the laptop another in an external USB enclosure. I like Knoppix 5.1 for this as well but it was having a problem with old RedHat 9 partitions. I've gotten away from Partition Magic it was not able to read all linux partitions. dd Unix Power Tools, or Knoppix Hacks.

Acronis does support SATA, IDE, USB, etc. A very nice tool. Acronis TrueImage Workstation sounds like the specific product you want. If you want to stick to Linux tools, I have used GPartEd with good results. I use it from SystemRescue CD. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Try g4l which is a bootable CD or USB stick. It should allow you to go disk-to-disk, then use gparted to expand the NTFS partition. Once you reboot XP, it will go through and do a disk check and you'll be set. -Mark ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

WIll dd or some other program do the job or will I have to try to find some other package? I've played around with Clonezilla. It's a live CD that will image the used part of a Windows or Linux system to a fileserver (ftp/nfs/cifs/SSH host). If it doesn't know the filesystem, it will dd the whole disk. If you do that, you can't shrink the disk when you unimage. They have additions that will multicast to image multiple systems like ghost can.

I've used the partimage tool to clone partitions, and parted with the gparted GUI front-end to resize/move them, always with good results so far. Used it on partitions from Windows 2000 and XP. Haven't tried Vista. Both tools are included on the bootable SysRescueCD (http://www.sysresccd.org/). -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
