Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to dump a partition
instead of the whole disk

so i would like to do
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=hda1.img

instead of 

dd if=/dev/hda of=hda.img

And run it on xen after


Note : when i dump the whole disk the Windows XP 
run pretty well with this modifications before dumping :

I could create an empty disk create a partition with the same size and 
dd if=hda1.img of=/dev/hda1 under xen with a boot rescue dsk but i don't if it
will work...

But is there an other/easier way to do that ?

Have a nice day,
