mark_667 Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi, I want to reallocate partition sizes so I have a unallocated block (which I can then format to NTFS) to install and dual-boot Windows XP. My question is, how do I use the built-in CD burning software to backup entire partitions beforehand instead of just some of the files (ie. the home or documents directory). I want to backup the partition contents so I am able to restore them if I end up over-writing data when resizing them. When I try to use k3b to access root, even though I am logged in as admin I am denied access and not prompted for a password. Does anyone know how to get around this? Also, when I try to mount a disk it will appear on the desktop as having mounted correctly, but if I try to open it or use konqueror it says it doesn't exist, will I still be able to burn CDs and DVDs if this is the case?

devries Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 http://www.linux-backup.net/App/ The stuff in the cdr-based backup section is what you need. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Although the link wasn't what I was looking for in itself, I managed to find a useful link about a rescue disk. However, I am still having trouble getting disks to mount properly, I tried using the terminal, but have no luck with the commands, despite findingthis page. instead I get 'command not recognised'?
