System Rescue CD

Here are the main system tools:

o GNU Parted is the best tool for editing your disk partitions under
linux

o QtParted is a Partition Magic clone for Linux.

o Partimage is a Ghost/Drive-image clone for Linux

o File systems tools (e2fsprogs, reiserfsprogs, xfsprogs, jfsutils,
ntfsprogs, dosfstools): they allow you to format, resize, debug an
existing partition of your hard disk

o Sfdisk allows you to backup and restore your partition table

Hey, nice! Great find! Thanks! }:O)

Exactly how I felt

You are most welcome.

No offence intended, but Gordon Darling has mentioned this program
multiple times in the last 6 months.

None taken, obviously at least 2 of us missed it

This is a front end to GNU Parted, I believe. Nice.

o Partimage is a Ghost/Drive-image clone for Linux

Nice thing about this is it only backs up used sectors. Makes the
image much smaller, at least if your file system isn't full.

o File systems tools (e2fsprogs, reiserfsprogs, xfsprogs, jfsutils,

Apparently works with NTFS, too. If they add Captive to this, which
uses the MS NTFS driver with a wrapper like WINE to simulate the
Windows calls from Linux, you could have full read-write access to
NTFS partitions. Would make this very useful for Windows techs, too.

o Sfdisk allows you to backup and restore your partition table

Very useful since hosing the partition table can be a show stopper if
you don't have a printout of its last precise construction.

I need stuff like this for my free-lance tech support business I'm
trying to get into. Not to mention rescuing my own system from
screwups.
