Haven't taken the plunge yet, but while catching up on my work from a dead motherboard, I'm educating myself on working with the tools discussed in this article. <http://www.linux.com/articles/56588>. My backups before I tried to install a dual-boot system to a combination of an older EIDE and a new SATA drive were sans some important stuff in one subdirectory structure I flagged the wrong way. Then trying to install WinXP to the SATA drive ate the EIDE's partition tables. I'd appreciate hearing about it if you find something that works. You might also take a look around the included apps in some of the rescue live CDs at linked from FrozenTech. < http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&showonly=rescue>.
