Use the dd command partition by partition as follows: dd if=[partition] of=[filename] So, to image your third partition on the first IDE disk to a file in /home: dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/home/hda3.img To go the other way and restore from this file: dd if=/home/hda3.img of=/dev/hda3 PS: Your mbr will be saved when you image /dev/hda1. Or, you can do it separately as explained in the lilo installation HOWTO: dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/mbr.img bs=512 count=1 I used to use ghost. This is much easier.
