Hi,

I recently acquired a new laptop with windows on it. I want to install
Suse 10.2 on it. i tried to reduce the size of win partition during
installation, but got error. i need some imp files/software in it. So
if i image the hard disk now and then format and create two partitions,
is it possible for me to palce the image on partition rather on the
whole hard disk??
Please let me know. Thnx in advance
Sree


I notice Partimage says that for NTFS it is experimental. You might
want to check out BING or Image For Linux from Terabyteinc
http://www.terabyteinc.com/ Their products work well, are small
and a bit "geeky" which should be very popular with this bunch :-)
They also have an active support forum with good support.
