Here's an web page that talks about how to do it. http://www.backuphowto.info/linux-backup-hard-disk-clone-dd On Fri, 29 Apr 2011 08:26 -0400, "Gerry Archer" <arche...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Can someone suggest a free disk cloning/imaging software program that's > idiot-proof/plug-n-play, > that only has to be loaded in a computer and an external drive and it does > its thing without > getting into a lot of technicalities? > > This would be for a laptop/ running Windows XP Home that doesn't have a copy > of Windows Backup.
