Using knoppix to backup XP to USB HD

[MrMayhem]

Hi! Did you get partimage to work for you? I'm intereseted in doing the exact same thing on a couple of IBM laptops. The thing is that these laptops (T41, 41 and 42:s) comes with a "hidden" partition for restoring. It would be nice to be able to clone those partitions as well... Norton Ghost can't handle it for sure...

--Actually I was completely wrong about the 2GB filesize limitation. SuSE 7.3 suffers from this, Debian does not. My apologies for the confusion.

Hang on, Dave. It's funny you mentioned 2 GB as a limitation. I just came across a situation in which I think I hit that limitation in the newest release of Knoppix.

As you can see, I tried to save my configuration, but it failed once I hit a 2 gig wall. There's a 2 gig limit somewhere here.

Any ideas?

--Well, in that post you mentioned that config.tbz had hit two Megabytes; I was talking about 2 Gigabytes. AFAIK, the 2GB filesize limit applies only to FAT32 filesystems and the ' zip ' program.

Oh don't be so picky! It was only three orders of magnitude. Sheesh!

Thanks,
