| | | | | I have an old Dell desktop that seems to crawl to a stop whenever some intense disk I/O takes place. I also happen to have a spare SSD. That SSD would give this machine a nice performance boost. The current IDE drive in the Dell has the exact same amount of space as the SSD. Unfortunately, this Dell has no SATA support and the SSD has a SATA interface. Not to worry. For ~$35 and a couple of hours this upgrade can be complete and my machine can stop grinding to a halt on intense disk I/O. | |

| | | | | Last time I walked through creating a sparse disk image using dd and cp --sparse=always. OK, we have a disk image. Now what? Normally it would suffice to just set up a loop device and then mount, but this disk image doesn't just contain a filesystem. It has 4 partitions each with their own filesystem. This means in order to mount one of the filesystems we have to take a few extra steps. | |

| | | | | I have XP installed on a drive with a configuration like this. (In reality, each partition was 10x larger, but I'm using smaller numbers for this example). [ ~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. | |
