I've found two good / fast ways to ghost system images. The first method
uses a bootable cdrom called G4U (Ghost for Linux). It's a no-cost solution
and downloadable from http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/. You burn a bootable CDROM
image, boot the disc, and use the uploaddisk and slurpdisk utilities to
read/upload and write/download a copy of your disk image. The storage medium
is any FTP server you want.
The second method is dd, which can be found on the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot
CD for Windows - http://ubcd4win.com/). This disc is an enhanced version of
BartPE, which is an enhanced verion of WinPE... which came with your XP
Embedded Studio disc set. Burn the ISO, boot the disc, open a cmd shell, and
use a command similar to:
dd if=z:Partition1\Image0001 ibs=1500b of=\\.\i: obs=1500b
The command above copies the image of a partition, from a mounted share, to
a formatted partition designated as I:. reversing the if and of designations
would have made a copy of the partition to the server. The critical piece
here is the block size. It should closely match the network MTA size. If it
doesn't, the defaults can make an 8 minute effort take literally hours.
