moldboy 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 I am using a live cd of linux and would like to know how you would use the cp command to make a copy of a windows drive from internal to external for backup purposes, I would just copy and paste from withen windows but then things like pagefile.sys wouldn't be included, any thoughts?
