Use partimage to restore fog images
-
I have this working now in a fashion, see what you think, any thoughts , improvements, would be good
- All fog images need to be Multiple Partition Non Re Size. Give you the MBR file which is essential.
- Use this command to load the mbr onto target disk [SIZE=12px][FONT=Courier][COLOR=#000000]sudo dd if=/pathtoimages/d1.mbr of=/dev/sda[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
- The disk now has the exact layout of the cloned disk about to be imaged.
- Load image files over the top of the partitions needing imaging. e.g. (win 7 machnie)
after MBR loading disk will have say dev/sda1 (reserved) and dev/sda2. Just load images d1p1 over sda1 and d1p2 over sda2.
Note. Resize in gparted will force a chkdsk in windows…if you leave resize till in windows no force check disk on first boot.
Tested with 7 , vista and XP images. All working.
7 looped a couple of time with the black and white boot manager window before then settling down and installing. Not sure why? But tested 3 or 4 times and it only happens once after loading. -
