| | | | | As my family's computers age into obsolescence I typically back up the disks, use shred to securely erase data from the disks, then donate or re-use the disks/computers. My current technique for backing up the Windows disks is to mount the primary (non-boot) Windows partition, convert it to a squashfs filesystem, then squirrel that backup image away somewhere for safe keeping. I like this technique because squashfs filesystems are highly compressed and read-only by default, which is exactly what I want for a Windows backup that I'll probably never look at again. | |

[ ~2GB FAT32 | E: (/dev/sda1) ] [ ~6GB NTFS | C: (/dev/sda2) ] [ ~2GB NTFS | F: (/dev/sda3) ] It may look unusual that C: is not the first partition, but a setup like this is not entirely unsual for an OEM hard drive. E: is a recovery/utility partition, C: is the partition with XP installed, and F: is an extra partition for backup. | |
