I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here. I know partimage can create partitions, but I was not aware it could be used to create ghost images. As for booting Mandrake from floppy. No However if you snag yourself a copy of Knoppix http://www.knoppix.org/ You will get a fully bootable Linux system from CD with a large set of tools. It runs in memory and will not harm an existing Win installation. derek On Wednesday 18 Jun 2003 4:46 am, rikona wrote: Hello, I've been snooping around to find backup/imaging solutions. Partimage supposedly can image FAT NT partitions. Would it be possible to boot Mandrake from a floppy (on a Win Machine), and use partimage to image a primary disk to a removable secondary disk? If so, my Ghost could fade into oblivion. :-) Another win for open source... -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
