Imaging my blitz 2000!

It definitely is a standard computer hard drive.  It's a Quantum 8.4GB drive I believe and its got master/slave jumpers like a standard drive.  

On my PC, I've got WinXP running Drive Image Pro 4.0, it sees the size of the drive, but I cannot image it as it says the partition is 'unallocated space'.

I am really worried that with the game on always on and over time I might have a physical problem with the drive and have to spend tons of money to get a replacement drive with the game installed on the drive.

SirPoonga:
Hmm, probably not fat32 or ntfs then.  I'd see if you can get ahold of a linux install disk.  Just get to the portion of the install that uses disk druid or fdisk, DON'T ACTUALLY INSTALL.  When you get to that part you see everything.   Though I be someone else will have a better idea that just invalves a boot disk of some sort.

Thanks, I can try that, but are there any imaging tools for Linux?

Lilwolf:
diskman rawread and rawwrite should do it in windows
I think there was a microsoft version of the same thing in 98/95/me but I'm at a 2000 box right now

dd is the linux program that will perfectly copy any drive (as long as the output drive is the same)
