restore partition, from bigger to smaller
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:04 am
hiya,
i got a new vostro 1200, with a
fresh install xp, (onto a 15 gb partition), backed up to dvd and also on another 20 gb partition.. using the partition saver utility (occupied sectors).
question is now how do i get it back to the c: drive (or 0 drive).
main problem being it is smaller than th back up partition size - which seems to not be to the liking of various partition managers on the disk.
my problem is exacerbated by me being extreme linux noob and a vague DOS noob.
but mostly, when running the ubcd 4.1.1 download, i can't get the NTFS option to install/work. it gives (or at least what i can see)
UNPACK: Error whil unpacking "A:\level1\VC.CAB"
and
ERROR: Out of memory while processing cabinet file IDLE.CAB
also out of memory with AUTORUN3.CAB
- i found another post which suggested using a different memory option at the beginning, but I do not get that option.
thankx
