Disk imaging program?

[Normand Marion]

use dd.

Be carefull dd does not permit error.

If you want all your drive...boot from CD/DVD linux image.

Open a terminal

Plug-in an external device on a USB port

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sd? bs=10M

refer to the dd's man page to see exactly what your doing.
