I do this a lot and rarely see any problems. However I just repaired a shrunken NTFS partition with wrong parameters in the boot block on using TestDisk. TestDisk located the problem and prompted to fix it for me. As Alans drive still is untouched, I guess a compressed dd backup will be very small. The optimal way would be for retailers to also send the install media with the computer. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
