Creating a GHOST image of my ext3 partition
I have a Mandrake and WindowsXp system.
After hours and hours compiling and configuring Mandrake 10.0, I like that it works. I would like to make an GHOST image and burn it with my DVD RW. I have an bootable cd called Hiren's Bootcd and it run ghost program. Ghost found my ext3 partition an write the image correctly in other partition (FAT32) (15 minutes) When I restart Windows XP the file don't exist, what's happening??? Thanks |
Windows XP is NTFS and not FAT32... that might be your problem
|
Excuse my.
My Hard Drive have 40 Gb and I partition with partition magic cd when it was new, my partitions are FAT32, ext3 and swap I don't have NTFS, and if I have it, GHOST write perfectly in NTFS. C: 16Gb FAT 32 (windows XP) D: ext3 LINUX 4,5 Gb non readable from windows E: swap 500 Mb non readable from windows F: 19 Gb FAT 32 my data partition G: DVD -RW PIONER I have an clean Windows XP image when I installed for first time my pc, burned in a DVD-R and I had restore 2 times without problems. GHOST read correctly ext3 but don't save the image!!! |
I think that GHOST is a dos-based program. If you are attempting to create a backup of your ext3, try Drakbackup instead. Then burn it to your DVD-RW..
:cool: |
Well, if I use drakbackup...
How I restore the image if I format the ext3 partition??? drakbackup don't create an complete partition, only copy some dirs... I want something like GHOST, I have download the new GHOST and will try with it Thanks all |
mario, can you give me the Hiren's Boot CD too ? I mean make a ISO from it, and maybe upload it somewhere so i can download it :> I really need it badly, I would be more than greatfull if you will help. -Cheers-

Just make checkdisk chkdsk to the fat32 partition and file will appear ;)

clonezilla is the program you want. On the commercial side, Acronis works very well and is very user friendly.
Whoops didn't notice this thread was 5 years old! What the heck? |
