[CS-FSLUG] Managing Partitions/Backup software

[Nathan T.]

I got Windows up and running again pretty quickly by restoring from a  
backup, resizing the image to the exact size of the backup, and then  
using a Mandriva CD to resize the partition to the full size of the  
free space. For some reason Mandriva's own partitioner has always  
worked, even if the distribution is no longer to my linking.

One of the best things that happened to me lately was my job, now I  
can afford to get hard drives for better back-ups and I update them  
more frequently.

As for separate drives, I could probably get away with doing that.  
I'll have to reinstall Ark Linux again anyway since my root partition  
somehow got lost a few days ago, but since I've already got a NAS now  
and a co-worker of mine wants to unload an old computer on me I might  
set that up to run Ark Linux so I can keep Windows and Linux on two  
separate machines.
