I've never used this option, but my understanding is that it will copy from partition to another. It may be restricted to copying on the same disk. I don't think it does what partimage does and create an off-line image that can be restored to anywhere.

I'm not sure about the disk limitation. I couldn't get it to work when I tried.

Any recommendations? -- Hwyl/Regards Llywelyn Owen Hi, I believe gparted will deal with everything you require for partitioning (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/), including a liveCD version. K3B does burn dvd ISOs: Tools - Burn DVD ISO Image. If you mean burning a cd ISO to dvd, I'm not sure if it's possible with anything, let alone K3B.

Ideally it would see SATA drives and NTFS/Reiser/EXT* formatted partitions. Oh, and a have a GUI! I would take a look at partimage. IIRC it's not GUI'd but a terminal based interface. I'm not sure if it is on the Ubuntu live CD, but it's probably on the knoppix CD. I have a feeling you can build a bootable floppy with it on too. I also need a way to burn iso images to DVD, as opposed to CDs, from within Linux. K3B does not not do DVDs. What else is there? I'm pretty sure Gnome does this, but if you are KDE fan that may not help. Most of what I have (cover disks etc) seem to fail to see SATA drives or Linux partitions. Knoppix will see these as well as the Ubuntu live CD. Hope this helps.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Partition imagining and dvd burning.
Yes, I did mean CD isos to DVD. I think I'll have to ditch that idea. I didn't realise Gparted could copy as well. thought it was just a partitioning tool - thanks for that info. I'll also take a peek at partimage, thanks for that info, too. Should have what I need now if all goes well. -- Hwyl/Regards Llywelyn Owen -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

You can write ISOs to CD or to DVD, there's no fundamental difference in the file format (i.e. no such thing as a CD iso v. DVD iso). Of course, an ISO larger than the capacity of a CD won't fit. My point: you ought to be able to write any ISO up to 4.7GB to a DVD. And using k3b. I've done this.
