    Hello all!
    I am trying to back up a 6 gig harddrive with "dd"
    I want to "save" a complete Windows disk to be able to recreate it later.
    Kind of a rescue image

    I have booted from a SuSE 9.0 boot cd and mounted a networkdrive on /mnt
    i then do "dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/image.dd "
    but i get:
    dd: writing to '/mnt/image.dd': File to large
    4195234+0 records in
    4195234+0 records out
    dd: closing output file '/mnt/image.dd': File to large

    Is there a easy way to get around the problem?
    How do i fix the system for larger files?

    The source FS is NTFS
    The targer FS is ReiserFS (on the network disk)
