When I do a dd, I mount the resulting image file in a loop, and use "mc" to copy over the "insides". I don't dd back the image. it's a very good way, but not all systems allow easy loop mount (even if this is possible also on windows)
I loop mounted ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, iso9something... applied fsck to recover badly damaged filesystems... works fine. I haven't yet found a filesystem type which can not be loopmounted.
I was not thinking of _file_ system, but _operating_ system, namely windows 98 :-)
But what do I care if windows can not loopmount? That's their problem, not mine :-P
using fsck on a loop mounted file system is a very good idea
This way we can try reconstructing a difficult problem. If fsck fails one way, I make another copy and retry. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
