Re: [Linux-NTFS-User] Cloning a bootable windows.

[K T L. <li...@lx...>]

 Hi,
  
  Actually, ntfsclone is working very fine. I created an image out of a working windows partition, and then wrote it back, and it booted fine. So the problem is obviously with the disk image I created with parted.

  So can anyone tellme how to create a working windows image from an LV? The LV should act act like a full harddisk. I have tried with parted. The commands I ran on parted.

----------------
  parted /dev/VolGroup00/swindows mklabel msdos
  parted /dev/VolGroup00/swindows unit s  mkpart primary ntfs 0 6666666 set 1 boot on
---------------

 This created a proper msdos partition on the main LV, and made it bootable.

 This is the output of parted print. But after I ntfsclone the image into the first partition, I am not able to boot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
