Hello, I've found an old 176mb disk with a windows 95 installation, I'd like to make a full backup out of it.
Like an image but I'd like also to be able to open in and retrieve files.
I can connect it to a windows xp machine.
Any good program to do so?
Thanks
It's so small that, apart from the image, you can also keep a .zip with the contents to easily copy files from it.
under linux
dd if=<harddrivetobackup> of=<harddrivebackupfile>.img
You can use osfmount in windows to add, remove or list files in the image.
linux should also work though given the partition table in the image, I don't know how.
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

losetup -P /the/full/disk/image to mount a whole virtual disk, then you can mount/format/copy/whatever the individual partitions, then once you're finished losetup -D to unmount all loop* virtual drives (or: -d loop? for only one) 😀
Thanks I will give it a try, any advice about what live distribution to use?
