restore in windows xp?

[loserbaby2]

I have partitioned my C drive, it now also G and formatted it fat32. I moved my .bak files into G but I'm not getting something right because when I try to restore it tells me no such file or directory. I'm mounting hda1 /mnt/c, not sure what else to try. I'm doing this from some specific directions and the only thing I've done different is the placement of my tivo drive, it is set up as primary and cs(slave)...Help...

You need to change the 1 in hda1 to whatever partition number the G is.

So would that be like "2" the 2nd partition on that drive....?


BTW, Thanks

use Fdisk and check the Hard Drive status (function 4 or 5 I think) that will give you the number of your G drive.

hda2 worked for me.

Thanks

hd A = primary master
hd B = primary slave
hd C = secondary master
hd D = secondary slave

the number after that is for partition number. If you have 12 partitions and you want to access the 12th it would be hda12

Would be a better idea if write enabled NTFS drivers were stable in linux. Read is fine but everyone highly recommends against writing.

Yea, even if you totally forget mfs tools, its a problem getting ntfs working in redhat or any linux distro. The problem is writing to the partition. Things can be come unstable and currupt it. This could cause a potential loss of all data on that partition.

I'd heard recently that NTFS writing had become stable in Linux 2.6. But I'll look into it some more...

Why bother. For our purposes loading up a ntfs volume is really overkill. Those usb pen drives are dropping in price at an alarming rate. My images are normally only about 100 to 200 megabytes. A usb pen drive can take care of that with no problem.

They would even make a good storage medium. No need to burn cd's only to find out that when you need them they have deteriorated to the point of no return.
