Use your SUSE boot cd and reboot. Upon boot, choose installation and then boot installed system. You could also use ddrescue and make a bit by bit copy verbatim to empty space and then again. there is ghost for unix. There is Kdar. Keep your system running so you wont get locked out. There are several solutions to your question. Adam -----Original Message----- From: "Greg Wallace" <jgregw@acsalaska.net> Subj: RE: [SLE] copy all of xp, etc to a linux directory?

I have 2 hard drives and the XP drive is getting flakey, altho it booted today. Is there any way to copy the _complete_ xp drive, registry, files, and all to the Linux drive, and then, having replaced the flakey drive, copy all of that back, and have a bootable, usable xp system? If so, please give me detailed directions. I'm an RF guy, not a computer maven.

BTW, the flakey drive contains the dual-boot system, and I could not get into that last night. Can I get into the Linux drive directly somehow, from a floppy or a CD or something?

TIA!--doug

Why not just cut an ASR backup and recover that to your new drive? Greg Wallace -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
