thanx. i will have a look at what is possible and what are the advantages. this method i have to check out carefully... if ntfsclone can create a file from the ntfs patition, it will be big ... splitting it and burning the fragments is the next step. and testing the recovery the last ;) greetings, damir _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
