create disk image without r-studio
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:21 am
Is it possible to create a disk image that can be processed by r-studio outside of the software?
EG can I (say) use dd under linux to create a file and then scan that with r-studio..
The reason is:
A crashed laptop drive (Ntfs)
attach to windows machine via USB caddy
windows tries to automount the drive but will not recognise the drive as the f/s is corrupt - & effectively hangs
also r-studio under windows won't see the drive - hangs when I do refresh
however I can boot into linux (ubuntu) so if I could save the disk image there and then restart windows & process the saved image...
