Am reasonably new to Linux and completely new to Knoppix. Just used Knoppix to boot an XP machine with 1 hdd and 3 partitions(NTFS). There was an error message on boot up that the drive partition table could not be read. Mount did not list an hdd and using mount with hda did not work. However I went ahead and used "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb". It seemed to work, although it was a 40 Gig drive and I did not do a by file comparison. Thing is it was still running after about 8 hours - isn't this too long - did I make some setup error? Also is there a way to image a drive of say 40 gig to a partition on a 80 Gig drive so that multiple smaller drives could be imaged onto the single larger drive. Really appreciate any help.
