Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2748010 By: uvman Well, you mixed and matched quite a few things, as most people with 2 days expirience would do, so let me try to explain: 1) yes and no. burning with knoppix can be done via k3b (Similar to Nero) or nautilus (the gnome file manager). I'm not sure which one can burn DVDs though. But You will need to create the NTFS image before burning, and that requires some HD space on a place other than the partition you are backing up. You can use disk space over network for that or a different partition. 2&3) You do not need a RPM for knoppix, These are for RedHat/Fedora only. Knoppix has build in support and should identify your partitions automatically. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2748188 By: mconzo Well that makes sense as to why I could not burn the image using k3b(can burn dvds). I am trying to create and burn on the fly an image from 18gb of data that resides on a 20gb drive. So in this situation there is not enough hd space unfortunately. Yes, I can see the two partitions (NTFS PRIMARY - 18gb & FAT16 DELL DIAGNOSTIC - 35 mb) automatically in Knoppix. If I do not need an RPM for Knoppix does that mean there is absolutely no way to use the NTFSCLONE tool ? If it can still be used in Knoppix, what is the process please? When I try to install NTFSPROGS in Knoppix it asks for a root password which does not exist using Knoppix Live CD. I tried blank and also "password" and also the administrator pw to the NTFS partition for the hck of it. No luck. Do you know other Live CD solutions which will perfmit me to use ntfsclone? Does this exist? A physical installation of Linux is not an option. It appears that NTFSCLONE has the ability to burn directly to disk cd/dvd. Is this correct? This is what I really need to do! Thanks for the tips Yuval.. Try not to laugh too hard when reading this... like I meantioned.. 2 1/2 days linux experience now! lol..

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2748285 By: nobody I'm not laughing at all, don't worry. But as the questions here are mostly unrelated to ntfs, I'll answer briefly. Search the web for more details on general linux topics. The root account on knoppix is locked. You can gain root access by opening a console and typing "su". Then you can install ntfsprogs (or do anything you wish) A RPM is a package manager. Knoppix does not use it, but you can download .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files (source archives), unpack them and run "configure" and "make" and optionally "make install". (only the install need to be done as root) I thing SystemRescueCD is a live CD with ntfsprogs. Use www.distowatch.org for more details. You can burn only 4.7GB on a DVD. you have way too much data and it simply won't fit. ntfsclone does not support built-in burning, however: The traditional UNIX/Linux way on doing stuff is piping (from the word pipe). that means you feed the output of one program to another and create a chain that does what you want. For example you may pass the output of ntfsclone to gzip to a burning utility. and that way you can burn a compressed image on-the-fly. but you need to find a burning utility that supports burning through piping, and consider that cloning and compressing on the fly may be too slow to burn on-the-fly. If you need anything ntfs related (like actually using ntfsclone) please post here. But further questions on burning , logging into knopix or mounting a temporary HD / network drive, piping or freeing disk space should be posted on a better fourm than here. (search the web for related forums). And about the 2 1/2 days: you have to start sometime! ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2748467 By: nobody There are no switches available to use NTFSCLONE with a size limit which might prompt me when this is reached ? Say 4500000 kb for a dvd (4.7 gb disk) and when this is reached the cloning process will pause and advise me to inject new media. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2748812 By: uvman You are still not thinking Linux. ntfsclone does not have such a switch, but that does not matter. you can make a different utility do the split for you. There is a utility that simply called "split", but it requires you to store the files, and you can't do that. So I have searched around and found the following: http://mkcdrec.sourceforge.net/ It does exactly what you want: burns a backup of your partition, with a bootability bonus, but it does not clone ntfs partitions. It does allow you to archive the ntfs files. Alternatively you can make it use ntfsclone by changing the scripts (yourself, a friend or contact the maintainer). that shouldn't be too hard to do (you can use ntfsclone istead of tar) Yuval ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
