Hi there,
Before installing on a new laptop which came with Vista pre-installed
I took an image of the hard-drive using dd. (ie: `dd if=/dev/sda of=/
mnt/sdb1/disk.img`, where /mnt/sdb1 was a portable USB hard-drive).
Obviously the intention was that if I b0rked things up I could just
`dd` the image back onto the laptop and all would work as the
manufacturer shipped it, but I'd now find it useful to be able to
take a look inside the image and examine a few files. Is there any
way to do this, please?
I'm fairly confident that there were originally a couple of
partitions on the drive, and the one I want to look at will be NTFS,
of course. I know that a CD iso I can mount using `mount file.iso /
mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop`, but is there an equivalent for whole
partition tables?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advices,
Stroller.
