Clone Harddisk

Tang_Choon_Meng · February 28, 2002, 6:13am

Can anyone enlighten me on how to clone a QNX4’s harddisk I’ve tried using
Dos-norton ghost but was not successfully. The original disk has only one
partition but the newly cloned disk boot up in partition 4 and hanged upon
bootup.

I have successfully used DriveImage with my QNX4 partitions, but the
catch is that you can only restore the patition to a hard drive that is
identical in drive geometry to the one you cloned it from. This is
because DriveImage does not understand the QNX filesystem natively (does
Ghost?) and has to back up the drive sector by sector. I mainly use my
backup image to ensure that if I foobar my hard disk I can get it back.
In the cases where my hard disk has died, I have had to completely
reinstall the OS (which is why I also have solid documentation on the
setup process so I can repeat in 12 months later easily
