dd cloning disks

[william_holt at speakeasy.net (Bill Holt)]

I used toms root boot cause I was to lazy to build my own that will be a leisure time project. ATA33/5400 rpm disk. Left after one hour.
what did you mean by sys windows? I used grub for the boot, partitioned with linux fdisk, formatted with mkdosfs. 
hda1-ntboot-fat16hidden
hda2-dos622-fat16hidden
hda3-extended
hda5-nt-ntfs
hda6-swap
hda7-linux-ext2

oh yeah, i gave it an anti-climatic tag and dipped in aus jus as suggested
