Cloning Linux disks???

[The PIT]

Anyway to do this in Windows from one drive to another.

The host linux machine is an all in one device that doesn't allow connection of another drive.

Tried Ghost but this doesn't seem to work with the target drive getting corrupted.

The latest Ghost seems each Linux partition as a single drive which isn't any good.

Acronis True Image *might* do it.
I've used PartImage from the System Rescue CD, took a little work but I was able to create and restore images with it.
This solution would not be from windows but from a bootable cd-rom.

Rescue Mode or Live CD

If your distribution has a rescue mode on the first install CD, or if you have one of the Live CD linux distros (like Knoppix), you should be able to
boot and get to a console. From there, you can run the following command:

/bin/dd if=/dev/hdX of=/dev/hdY

or

/bin/dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY (for scsi disks)

Where X is the letter of the original drive to be copied and Y is letter of the destination drive.

This will make sure everything including the bootloader is copied over. But it will take a while since it does a block by block copy.

At first this tool looks a bit overloaded, but it's worth a deeper look.
You have to select the disk or partition you want to work with first and then you can select the next action.
