Hello,
I have a HD on which Linux is installed and works. It contais only a
little partition of about 100MB. I want to clone it the easiest way
possible (because this will be run by non linux technicians), preferably
under Windows. I've tried using DriveImage7 but it does not work. Data
is well transfered on the disk, but it doesn't boot (So I suspect
DriveImage not to copy mbr). Which softs could you recomment?
