Re: Who else 9.04 ing?
I have run it off a 2gb usb key and also on a partition on an sdcard and also the livecd, faultless apart from some problems with continuation whilst putting it on the sd, i should really spend more time in it but have been testing win7 of late which i cant fault yet

Re: Who else 9.04 ing?
Is there a linux guru on here that can help me create an image of a hard drive & save it onto DVD?
I have a Lacie Network Drive (500gb) that was el cheapo when Asda were selling them off that I have removed the drive from the case so my son can use the drive on his PC, however I want to create an image so that I can put another drive in the case & use it myself. Its a SATA drive. I have had a look with the Linux Ghost boot disk but am at a loss to understand it and am getting desperate to do this before he goes off to uni in a couple of weeks. Cheers, Matty |

How much data is there on the disk? Will you need to span several disks? Is there a logical folder structure you could use as partitioning? If you can it would be easier if you could fit the source disk inside a PC as a slave and squirt the image directly to the new disc in the case. If you aren't bothered about a flashy gui program the command line "dd" tool is the tool of choice. |

Re: Who else 9.04 ing?
There is 700mb of data on the 500gb drive, but 670mb of that is taken up by an AVI file that can be deleted (only I dont know how to - ubuntu wouldnt).
So when thats gone I want to fit it onto a DVD so that it can then be put back on a replacement drive and the replacement drive put in the box for me while my son gets the 500gb drive in his PC. I have a ubuntu pc in my sons room but none of us are that clued up on Linux. |

Re: Who else 9.04 ing?
30 meg? is that all? have you not got a usb stick or anything? I'd even say it will be quicker to email than faf around with burning a DVD.
Do you know how to use FTP? if you do I'dd create an account on some webspace and you can dump it up there. |
