Hi All...

My name is Aaron...I'm mostly just a lurker on this group and a general
linux beginner.  I have a few computers running Suse that I toy around with,
but nothing serious.  Anyway I've been asked to look at a self-contained
imaging solution for a PC running XP using open source software.

I came across the PING (http://ping.windowsdream.com/ping.html) iso which
does the imaging function I want in the way I want.

What I need assistance with is getting the contents of the isolinux bootable
CD copied to the physical drive so that I can use the existing MBR and
windows boot.ini to reference it from the drive as another boot
option...rather than having to use the CD.

I don't have a real aversion to using grub as the boot loader if that vastly
simplifies things, but I would prefer leave the boot loader as is if
possible.

I have the utilities necessary to resize/format/etc. the partitions if
needed.  I just don't have enough experience with linux to know how
complicated, if at all, this task is.

I attempted a few things based on a few google hits, but so far no joy.

Any advice/resources would be appreciated.

-A
