Imaging with Partimage

[slimshady21]

Hi, im using ubuntu edgy 64bit. I wanted to create an image of my linux partition with partimage in the SystemRescueCD. but apparently it includes the two windows partitions (which mounted to the linux in: '/media/sda5' and '/media/sdb1') in the image file, And i dont want them to be included. How can i change this setting?

I've never used PartImage but maybe this link to the manual will help:

Any reason not to use dd?

Thanks, but it didnt really help, i didnt see any information concern to my problem there.

I didnt understand what is exactly. it's not an imaging program, is it?

Anyway i thought to unmount the partitions before running the program, but than i will have no place to save the image file to.

save Partimage in Floppy or Harddisk, boot up from any LiveCD and create an image of any partition.
PartImage is available in System Rescue CD and Austrumi. i use Austrumi coz its a LiveCD distro, just 50MB. create image of any partition and save that anywhere.
