Hi all
It's possible writing an image, build with Macrium Reflect, with another
programm, as: dd, partimage,
In theory, yes. Assuming that the image is just that, then you can copy
it to a drive however you like. A disk image (be it of a CD/DVD (e.g.
.iso), a floppy, or a hard drive partition), is simply a bit-for-bit
copy of a file system, stored in a file rather than directly on a
partition. If you copy the file to the start of a partition, then that
becomes a normal partition.
Be certain to check that the image IS only an image. It is perfectly
possible for disk images or virtual disks to contain metadata
(headers, footers etc) which shouldn't be written to the disk.
If you can do the following without error:
# mount -o loop YourDiskImage.file /mnt/somwehere ; umount /mnt/somewhere
then you can safely assume that the image may be written out with cat,
dd, etc.
Thanks
Regards
