You use Unix (or a free Unix-like) operating system when you find yourself telling time like this:
Seriously, I have a perfectly good clock I can look at by rotating my head about 120 degrees clockwise, yet I chose to write 'date' at a terminal window.

Without that terminal box you'd be desperate and dateless.

Haha omg man who are you?
Are you a regular of the Rev-St forums by any chance? In any case I stumbled across your site while I was googling to figure out what was going wrong with my image of our ITG drive. Crazy I came across your blog eh.

Wow. Nope! I have never been to the Rev-St forums... I don't even know what they are. Something to do with StepMania?
All sorts of weird things bring up my blog apparently!
What is wrong with your image? Maybe I can help if you haven't figured it out already.

Haha man I love meeting new ITG people!!! I'm in New Zealand lol.
As for the image, I'm just starting to learn linux so that's a big issue for me :P
Basically today I've got all the partitions copied to the blank drive (I had to do each one seperately for it to actually work), now the issue is it's not booting, do you know which partition it should boot to? And what's the easiest way to modify it to do so lol.
If I can get permission to pull the machine apart again I'll just ghost is traight to the other drive with nortons ghost but in the mean time it'd be fun to try get this one going lol.
PS... race to quad Tricky Disco?

Add me to msn if you'd like:

If you just did a straight copy (using cp) then it probably would not work because the mbr would not be the same as the machine's original hard drive. When I did it I just used dd, took a long time but it makes an identical copy.
Oh wait if you read the post you probably already know that, haha.
From memory hda1 is the boot partition. What is the error you get?
Are you trying to make it run on your home PC? Chances are it won't work because your hardware is (probably) quite different.
If you can beat my current Tricky Disco score I'll try beat yours back!

I used Acronis to image it a few months ago, then just this week I've been attempting to restore the image. I set hda1 to boot initially as it seemed pretty obvious that it was the boot partition, when I try boot off it it continuously spits out 99 on the screen then does nothing.
I'm not sure if that's because it's not bootable or not. I'm attempting to boot it on ym desktop yes, mainly as an experiment to see if I can get it going, as far as I know for the standard itg hdd I should be able to get it to the point of boot looping because of the missing security dongle. As you said though it may be the case that my hardware is to different for it to work at all.
And as for Tricky Disco I've got 4 on it I think, either 3 or 4, let's go with 4 lol. I'll give it another go next time I play.
