I don't ever remember seeing a thread about this, so if this is not new info sorry :) Over the weekend I tried imaging my Gentoo/Linux notebook to see how well it could handle it. Drive Image 2002 from powerquest is my software of choice and it does a great job on Windows boxes. So I have 4 partitions all reiser FS /boot 250 mb / 5 GB /home 4 GB swap 1 GB I imaged them to my server, wiped the hard drive, Installed Windows XP PRO, used it for about 4 hours. Loaded up Drive Image boot disk, restored the image Booted up Notebook and was greeted by the infamous 'Missing Operating System" Booted up my super rescue cd, was able to mount my partitons, ran a chroot, ran lilo Exited rebooted and greeted by familiar LILo Menu All in all a great experience, all permissions, users and such came back flawlessly The point is that now I can make Point in Time backups of my notebook, yea!
