PARTITION IMAGE - Eltorito manual: (2000/11/12) ---------------------------------- This manual will help you to create a bootable CD-Rom, from the image file provided on partimage web site. Then, you just have to start your computer on this CD-Rom to able to run Partition Image, and to save/restore partitions. You won't need to have a linux system installed on your computer, or to use floppy disks to use partimage. You will need to download the file first. (2.88 MB) 1) Create your main burning directory: for example "CDBurning". 2) Go in your main burning directory, and create a sub-directory named ".eltorito", and copy the 2.88 MB image file in this directory. 3) Copy all the other files in the main "CDBurning" directory. For example, your can copy all your image files. You can put 650 MB files here. 4) Now, create the ISO image with "mkisofs" Go in your main burning directory, with a console. Type the following command: mkisofs -o /tmp/cd-rescue.iso -R-V "Partition Image rescue" -v -J -T -d -D -b .eltorito/partimage-x.y.z-bootcd-w.img -c .eltorito/eltorito.boot -A "Partition Image" . Don't forget the final point "." and update the file name with the name of the current version. /tmp/cd-rescue.iso is the image file to create. You must have 700 MB of free space to create this file. Then, if you don't have enough space on your root directory, please choose another temp path. mkisofs will create a 650 MB image file (or smaller if you don't have a full CD), it can take time it's around 15 minutes usually. 5) It's time to burn your CD. You can use "cdrecord in console mode", or another GUI, as gCombust. 6) Your bootalbe CD-Rom must be ready.
