Hey, I get to contribute! :) If you've got a linux boot disk handy, pop it in and go dd if=/dev/hda of=image_file # writes image dd if=imagefile of=/dev/hda # writes image to disk to write it. If you want compression with that, do this instead: dd if=/dev/hda | gzip > image_file.gz # writes image with compression dd if=/dev/hda | gzip -d > /dev/hda # decompresses image to disk (Obviously, the image_file shouldn't be on the same device that you're creating the image from. :)) We used to do this all the time (imaging windows labs and such) across the network, and it worked quite well. I don't know of an equivalent using just dos/windows tools though. :( John -- # John Madden weez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 2EB9EA # FreeLists, Free mailing lists for all: //www.freelists.org # UNIX Systems Engineer, Ivy Tech State College: http://www.ivy.tec.in.us # Linux, Apache, Perl and C: All the best things in life are free! ----- To unsubscribe, send a message to win2kforum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
