Re: backing up a drive

[Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@freenet.de>]

Sorry, for the late reponse...

You have:       Windows 98
                proprietary software

What you can do is easy:

1)  Install the new Hardrive with a new Windows 98
    and make it bootable (make sure it works)

2)  stop your computer and attach the old Harddisk to 
    the secoindary IDE-Controller

3)  start a Linux-Live-CD and mount allt wo drives with "vfat".

4)  erase all files on the new drive.

5)  copy all files recursiv from the old HDD to the new one

6)  Stop your computer and remove the old HDD

7)  Restart the Computer and look what hapnen...


Please note, I have done this several times in the last 6 years
and it was always working.
