color=#0000ff size=2>Ok.. I've learned my lesson. dd is a good thing and ghost
is bad. Question though... I imaged 2 NT 3.51 machines. Just read the image off
the drive with ghost and didnt do anything else. Now I'm getting the famous
inaccessable boot device error on both. After imaging the drive no less! Does
anyone know what ghost did to the drive that makes NT choke? I've never seen
this before with ghost. Also, I imaged an NT4 system and had no problems at all.
Weird....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for decent drive imaging software that
runs under Linux. Here's my wishlist:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Images Win9x/NT, OS/2, and anything else that you
throw at it</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Works off a bootable
CD</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Saves image files to a SAMBA share or
via FTP</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>* Can restore images to a different
drive size (like Ghost)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've used ghost before, but apparently it has some
issues with OS/2. dd worked fine for the OS/2 system I had to image, but I'm
thinking there has to be a way for dd to restore to a drive of a different
size without borking the OS.</FONT></P><BR><BR>

you could use the combo of Partimage (<A
