That's great - I wonder if anyone has been able to clone windows from a PARTITION to a new (larger) partition of another drive, and boot it. In my case I tried dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=128M then I used the ntfs util called ntfsresize: ntfsresize /dev/sdc1 which finished successfully. I tried to boot from the new drive, but windows gets as far as the windows logo splash screen and then reboots. -Markus ---------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:45:11 -0400 > From: curoli@xxxxxxxxx > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Copying a Hard Disk Containing Windows With Fedora > > Dear friends, > > It worked!
