Re: backing up a drive
Sorry, for the late reponse... You have: Windows 98 proprietary software What you can do is easy: 1) Install the new Hardrive with a new Windows 98 and make it bootable (make sure it works) 2) stop your computer and attach the old Harddisk to the secoindary IDE-Controller 3) start a Linux-Live-CD and mount allt wo drives with "vfat". 4) erase all files on the new drive. 5) copy all files recursiv from the old HDD to the new one 6) Stop your computer and remove the old HDD 7) Restart the Computer and look what hapnen... Please note, I have done this several times in the last 6 years and it was always working.

Re: backing up a drive
The dd can be from a live cdrom or from a small partition on the box reserved just for this purpose. The latter is no good in the case of a dead disk but is convenient otherwise. What about mirrordir? Assuming equal partitions on 2 disks, say from a prior dd run, how does the result of mirrordir --strict-locking / /mnt/backup compare with appropriately using dd? (/dev/hdb1 is mounted on /mnt/backup) Seems like mirrordir makes a nice backup option too? Thanks any comments - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

At the boot prompt, you can type "linux single" if you are using LILO. In GRUB the same thing should be possible, except that I haven't tried it. Another way of doing it is to run "init 1" from a root prompt, but you may need to run ps to see if any services are still running. cheers Duncan ___ Yahoo!

The safest way is just boot with a live linux CD (knoppix for instance) and dump the partitions from the HDD. Do NOT dump a mounted partition. Access the partition directly using the device (/dev/hda1 for instance). This way you'll have a consistent dump of your partition. I do not know what would happen if you dump a live system, but I don't think much good can come from it.

I didn't look into it very much, because when the problem occurred I didn't have the time to do so. Since it was a Windows-only system, there was no lilo installed. If I restored only hda1 the PC wouldn't boot. I tried a lot of options: I tried to restore the MBR using lilo, to no avail. I tried restoring the MBR using the WindowsXP repair console (or whatever that thing is called) using fixmbr and fixboot, all to no avail. The system didn't recognize the operating system. In the repair console however, I could "connect" to the installation and everything was where it was supposed to be. This is where I gave up (It cost me way more time than I had to spare). If anyone can elaborate on this that would be great. I believe the hardware has been decomissioned a few weeks ago, so I would be able to run some tests (in the future, because the schedule is packed right now). Any suggestions welcome!

So it "works," but you can only use as much space as the original hard drive had. That's right. It does work in so far as the original filesystem is restored and all it costs you is a little wasted space. For most people a small price to get their system back working, at least in the short term. There may be a way around this limitation or to fix it after performing dd. Following a reimaging from dd the options to expand the filesystem are: 1. Resize the filesystem using suitable tools if possible. or 2. Take the data off using a tool like dump, xfsdump (for xfs), cpio or tar and remake the filesystem before restoring. Of course if any of these work then use them instead of dd in the first instance. dd is really only useful for backups where other tools may not work well (eg, to backup an NTFS file system from Linux when you fear making a new NTFS filesystem may be difficult in the future). dd takes up more space (since it backs up the filesystem rather than the files), is very rigid and does not allow for anything except a full backup.

I believe it would give the same result if you do it directly to the disk as suggested. Of course, you can use knoppix to partition the disk and make it a file. That's easier to store (bzip2 it and put it on a DVD for instance). If you're unsure, find a spare machine, install windows98 and try to backup and restore it (backup it, delete some files in windows and restore the partition to verify that everything works and is there). This way you're quite sure your backup will work on the actual system. A pointer: take a dump of the entire drive (dd if=/dev/hda) and not just partition.
