Imaging my blitz 2000!

(1/3) > >>

Need help!:
I recently bought a Blitz 2000 arcade for home, and upon opening it up, I noticed there's a PC hard drive in it!  

Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to take an image of the hard drive, so I can have the possibility of restoring on a new drive should the current one fail.

Can anyone help?

planetjay:
I've heard from a local operator that you can't. I think I'd try Norton Ghost myself.  ;)

Lilwolf:
I have no clue if it's doable..
but if I was going to try it, I would add the drive as a secondary to a linux partition.  Then copy it that way.  Linux can copy other drives better then most operation systems.

(assuming of course that you don't have a professional drive cloning device..)

Need help!:
Thanks - I tried Drive Image, and the drive comes up as 0MB and I can't seem to get it going.

Are there imaging tools I can try in Linux?

Lilwolf:
I will try to find out the name of the tools from my boss.

but he is able to copy/clone a ton of drives for work related stuff (that can't be done in the native OS).  I think it reads the drive bit by bit and copies it that way.

Might only work with drives of the same size / type (all I'm sure hes done)
