Hi!
You can use "dd" utility for making a full copy of you disk partition (e.g. "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 bs=1m" where /dev/hda1 is your ubuntu partition and /dev/hdb1 is you empty partition). Notice that /dev/hdb1 must be unmounted and has same size as /dev/hda1; You can create that partition in cfdisk utility; dd make copy byte-by-byte, so if original partition is bootable - copy partitional state bootable too; it's all in general terms, for more information read dd docs (man dd) best regards P.S. sorry, I did not pay attention to the date of post. but answer can be useful to someone else |

Greetings to all!
To add to what LiteCFD wrote, the easiest to use should probably be Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org It uses a liveCD or live USB. And AFAIK, it's not possible to use it directly from Ubuntu. Best regards, Bruno PS: @Ehsan: Sorry, I didn't see this thread of yours back in October . |
