&gt;Like I said, it looks like identical drives is not part of the

&gt;all except for recreating a master boot record and boot sector.

&gt;&gt;I've done this with DD but you have to make sure your replacement disk
&gt;&gt;is identicle to the original.  &quot;SHOULD&quot; work with ntfs as well.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Thus spake Jeff Hubbs (hbbs at comcast.net):
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;    
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Is it possible to make a recoverable &quot;disk image&quot; of a Windows machine
&gt;&gt;&gt;using a bootable Linux CD along the lines of Knoppix?  The process would
&gt;&gt;&gt;basically be:
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;1.  Boot Linux CD in source machine
&gt;&gt;&gt;2.  Mount NFS or SMB share
&gt;&gt;&gt;3.  Execute magic incantation; disk data flies to mounted share
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Then, the reverse process:
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;1.  Boot Linux CD in target machine
&gt;&gt;&gt;2.  Mount NFS or SMB share
&gt;&gt;&gt;3.  Execute magic incantation; disk data flies from share to target 
&gt;&gt;&gt;    machine's disk drive
&gt;&gt;&gt;4.  Target machine boots wo WinXX and looks/acts like the source machine
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;I expect that the disk drives of the source and target machines won't be
&gt;&gt;&gt;the same but that all other hardware/peripherals will be.
