hi,

I want to clear all partitions of my HDD and then put the data of the
partitions that I have now in those new partitions. I'm wondering if it
is possible.
basically I want to redefine my HDD partitions without re-installing all
the stuff that I have.
if i do "dd if=/dev/hda2 of=hda2.iso" and the try to restore that iso in
one partition it replaces with an exact copy of the original partition.
Can I do a backup of the data only and not the partition info??
 

You could use partimage (it's on the gentoo live CD).
The only problem is, that the target partition size must be at least the 
same size as the original partition.
