Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
You can use the TBOSDT "copy sectors" command (specify the disk, starting LBA, number of sectors, and the filename).
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
Anybody to give some practical examples of scripts doing that ? I am not an IT specialist....
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
copy sectors 0 0 2048 HD0.bin
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
short and good! thks. Where will be located the file HD0.bin?
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
In Windows...
copy sectors 0 0 2048 E:\temp\HD0.bin
In BIBM you would mount a drive...
copy sectors 0 0 2048 0:temp\HD0.bin
copy sectors 0 0 2048 E:\temp\HD0.bin
In BIBM you would mount a drive...
copy sectors 0 0 2048 0:temp\HD0.bin
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
Thanks...
ôôô not that easy..
do you confirm for BIBM >> 0:temp\HD0.bin and not 0:\temp\HD0.bin

Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
Both work but I think the following is more correct...
copy sectors 0 0 2048 0:temp\HD0.bin
copy sectors 0 0 2048 0:temp\HD0.bin

Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
Make sure you're only copying out (or writing in) the actual needed number of sectors. 2048 may be more than wanted on some drives (could get into partition data, for example).
Re: How to backup/restore first sectors HDD?
Thanks both of you!
Inside Windows I've run :tbosdtw.exe, then : copy sectors 0 0 2048 E:\temp\HD0.bin..
and -surprise- it worked!
Where do I find the equivalent command for BIBM? (sorry, i am afraid the question is stupid ..)
