Hi, We have some test machines which we use to perform tests on clean systems. The idea is to create images of just-installed Windows and Linux systems, create an image, work with them, and later, when required, restore the just-installed image. However, the machines have disks with different geometry. I would like to know if it is possible to restore a partition/disk image on another disk. For example, suppose that a disk has the following configuration: CONFIGURATION 1 Disk size: 80 GB Boot loader: GRUB Partition 1 (primary, 15 GB, bootable): Windows XP Partition 2 (extended, 65 GB) Partition 3 (logical, 15 GB): Linux Partition 4 (logical, 5 GB): Windows Vista Partition 5 (logical, 15 GB): Empty/unused (Unallocated space 30 GB) Suppose also that I create images of each partition. Would it be possible to restore the image of partition 1 (WinXP) on a disk with a different geometry (but with the same partition layout)? What about restoring the whole disk image? Should I need to tweak the stored MBR? Kind regards, Omar Estrada |
