Do you know of a modern tool that will clone a partition table using the exact same sectors as the original? Even if it thinks that the boundaries are wrong, because the old disk was done on CHS and the new one wants to use megabytes.
dd will do that.
No, it doesn't. It clones the partition table itself, that is, the primary partition table only. The extended partition _table_ is not cloned unless you clone the entire disk. My backup image was not made of the entire disk, but of each single partition separately. Thus I have to recreate the partition table first, including the logicals. DD doesn't do that. Once the logical partitions are recreated, I can use dd to put their contents inside. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
