how to make an image of /dev/sda1

[David Sexton]

Hi,

first mount the sd card
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

and then

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/mybackup

dd will copy the whole partition including blank space and so might not fit on your 4gb sd card.

If you can reinstall xp then it would be better to just backup your important documents
