recovering an image for xp pro or ubuntu linux

I used this software called (drive image 2002) to create the image which worked pretty well by fixing a few errors so it can finish loading up from the bootable floppys correctly so I can in a GUI simply click click and save the image in a location I had prepared in an NTFS drive. Restoring it is realy easy all your left with after restoring the ubuntu image is an Inode error which is easily repaired:

At any rate To perform the Inode error fix I needed to do because I saw the error popup in Dapper Drake I booted the D.D. live cd and opened the terminal and sudo su then typed this:
1) umount /dev/sda7
2) fsck.ext2 -f /dev/sda7
3) fsck.ext3 /dev/ext2
4) mkdir /mnt/sda7; mount /dev/sda7/mnt/sda7
(my ubuntu partition is called sda7 so yours may well have an entierly different number)

Lets say you restore only an xp image and your left with an extra set in your grub boot menu then you just follow these steps from the term:
Sudo su
sudo gedit/boot/grub/menu.lst
To test first before deleteing anything the extra entrys please put a # in front of each one to make it a note then save it and reboot to test.

Heres the full howto ubuntu tutorial link to read more about it: HOWTO restore a backup images of XP and Ubuntu Dapper Drake Linux as a dualboot setup - Ubuntu Forums
Heres my other old post in general; I just didnt know were to put it: http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f3/i-u...te-110571.html I think the name of my old post wasnt correctly posted.
