Windoz disk copy tools

[Jerry Feldman]

I asked a couple of people here, and they confirm that dd, tar or cp 
should be ok. I think dd would be most appropriate when the source and 
target partitions are the same size. The reason for the question goes 
back to DOS when the boot sector needed to know where msdos.sys 
and io.sys was. But, in the worst case, I have a Win95 and Win98 CD 
and boot floppies, so there should be no problem to make it bootable 
again.
