For my use, recycling PC's for charity I use it to duplicate disks, simple and easy.
As a tip I have added HDT to the boot menu http://www.hdt-project.org/, very simple and easy to do and lets me check PC spec from the same USB pen drive.
Mount the USB boot disk with redo backup, from your OS of choice, I use Debian.
Hi all,
Great work.
For my use, recycling PC's for charity I use it to duplicate disks, simple and easy.
As a tip I have added HDT to the boot menu http://www.hdt-project.org/, very simple and easy to do and lets me check PC spec from the same USB pen drive.
Mount the USB boot disk with redo backup, from your OS of choice, I use Debian.
download http://www.hdt-project.org/raw-attachment/wiki/hdt-0.5.0/hdt_0_5_2.c32
and place it in the syslinux directory of your USB pen drive
edit syslinux.cfg in the syslinux directory of your USB pen drive
and add, I place it below the redo backup option
LABEL Hardware Detect
COM32 hdt_0_5_2.c32
get a copy of pci.ids, on Debian this is in usr/share/misc and copy it to the root of your redo backup bootable usb pen disk.
Reboot with the Redo Backup pen drive and select 'Hardware Detect' from the boot options and you get to see the PC hardware, CPU, Disks, etc.
It is useful for me and therefore I thought I would share.
All the best
IJM
