Hi all,I think at the very least you need mkisofs (with UDF).
I am trying to burn a ntfs partition (windows xp) lying in /dev/sda2
into a dvd. the partition is 3gb.
What i did:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=mydvd.iso bs=2048 conv=notrunc
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw=dvd.img
it successfully burnt the image into the disc, or so i assumed because
it did not give me any errors. but I am somehow unable to view the
files in both windows and in linux.
what could be wrong?
Thanks all !
I would use another method to backup. I would use ntfsclone, not dd.
The resulting image file can be saved to any media. Then, the resulting
backup image file can be written to ISO/DVD, etc.
More information about ntfsclone...
Backups made with the simple backup image format can be mounted loopback:
mount -o loop c.img /mnt/c-drive.backup
Backups made with the "special format" saves only the space in use, but
is not directly mountable (as shown above).
The ntfsprogs contain a useful set of tools, including ntfsclone,
ntfsresize. Check it out here:
