Ubuntu Installation :: Create A Bootable System Image With ClamAV Or Similar Installed?

Jul 28, 2011

All of my PCs are set up to either run Ubuntu directly, or are dual boot Ubuntu and some variant of Windows. One of the things I like about this is that in the rare instances that I get a virus I can simply boot into Ubuntu and run ClamAV to remove the virus from there.

I have a friend who recently picked up a nasty virus and we are having a hard time getting his machine to boot at all without all sort of strange behaviors. Under that scenario I can't trust Wubi to work correctly. Soo....

Is it possible for me to create a bootable CD, DVD or USB drive from my machine? I'd like to use my machine because I can update the virus definitions before I create the image and then use that to clean his machine.

I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and configured a lot(mainly setup git, heroku, rails etc), installed and setup lot of things on it to suit my needs. Now I want to move this setup to another machine and want to avoid all the setup again. Is there a way I can create an installer out of my existing ubuntu installation/partition which I can reuse for other machines?

Ubuntu Installation :: Image File Is Not ISO - Can It Be Run / Installed

Jan 24, 2011

The DVD disk is from LinuxFormatMagazine, and PCLOS is the ISO that boots. It has 10.10 on it also, but that isn't the ISO that loads by default. Do I have to transfer the 10.10 file, and burn it to a new ISO? Or can I run or install it from its' current file type on the DVD?

Can someone briefly explain the process of creating and installing images of Linux systems?

Ubuntu Installation :: Create A Windows 7 Boot Disc From A Pre-installed PC?

May 5, 2011

I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed. I would like to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

In my old laptop I had an OEM Win XP disc that I bought specifically for dual boot purposes (didn't want the pre-installed vista). This only has a one PC usage though unfortunately.

how to make a windows 7 boot disk? I made a RECOVERY disk already, but I don't think that will work as a boot disk right? Particularly if I completely wipe out or swap out the HDD (which I might do).

fyi: I NEED Win7 for a few special programs for my school. WINE will not work and VirtualBox puts to much strain on my computer.

Ubuntu :: Create An Image Of A PC To Use On Another?

Apr 7, 2011

I do not know if this is possible, but I have a laptop in another country that I visit quite frequently. I wish to re build it in Ubuntu from the image of a mcahine I have here such that when I set it up I need not go on line for updates and installed apps.

A couple of reasons for this.

Internet in this other country is by land line and VERY expensive and slow

It would be useful if it were an image as I am happy with the install on the laptop I have here,, and do not want to spend an age on my hols configuring and installing and playing about... Just install Ubuntu from my CD and then the image to create the same machine.....

Ubuntu :: Create An Image For OS Partition?

Oct 30, 2010

Ok, have a system with 10.10 with the things I need, I installed this OS on a laptop which has a 40gb drive. 32-bit version. Before installing ubuntu i had Windows7 and had split the drive in 2 partitions (20/20) and currently have an image of the Windows7 OS in the 2nd partition.

Anyway, when installing ubuntu i used the 1st partition that has Windows7 OS and made 3 partitions out of it:

-12gb partition for /root
- 3gb partition for /swap
- 5gb partition for /home

In the Windows world i use Ghost utility(DOS version) to image my single Windows7 partition completely. This works fine.

Since in ubuntu we usually create multiple partitions,

1-what utility can be used to create an image of the partition ?

2-do you JUST create the image of /root ?

I really want to create an image now that i can then restore if something happens to the OS and be back in business quickly without reinstalling ubuntu from scratch.

Ubuntu :: Create A Image Of A Partition Using Dd?

Mar 25, 2011

I want to create a image of a partition using dd. The partition is 80GB but only 15 GB are used. I booted from a live CD and run this command to backup 20 GB

Code:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/backup/OLD_HDD/sda1.img bs=1M count=20480

The command finishes without problems but when I mount the image I'm cannot read the content :

Code:

# mount -o loop /mnt/backup/OLD_HDD/sda1.img /mnt/sda1/
# ll /mnt/sda1/
ls: cannot access /mnt/sda1/proc: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/sda1/usr: Input/output error

[code]....

Ubuntu :: Use O Create A Win7 Systems Image?

Jul 4, 2011

I have been trying to create a windows 7 system image, for days, using standard win7 tools. I am officially giving up, in frustration. FWIW: I have gained an even deeper respect for Ubuntu, and even more contempt for Microsoft. My tools and setup:

Desktop:
AMD II Quad-core 64-bit, 3ghz, 4gb ram
1TB of disk space, less than 100GB used
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (I didn't like 11.04)

Laptop:
HP G62
Intel i3, dual-core, 3ghz, 4gb ram
500GB of disk space, less than 100GB used
Windows 7 Premier 64-bit

I have a few external HDDs: 640GB, 120GB, and an old 80GB. Also several thumb drives. The desktop, and laptop, are on the same network. Please just point me in the right direction. Do I use NTFSClone, or something else? Also, I would like to dual-boot the laptop with unbuntu, but if that's too difficult, never mind.

Ubuntu :: Ghost Image Program Installed On 9.10?

Mar 29, 2011

there i have a computer running ubuntu 9.10 set up as a server in my classroom. I have ftp http and an internal mail server set up on it as well as other settings. I really want to make a copy of the system so i have a back up of the os. i have figured out that i can attach a hdd to the computer and copy the os via the command line with an ubuntu live cd but this only works as long as the computer that is receiving the backup is exactly the same or the same computer. I would like to transfer the image to a portable hdd then install the os onto virtual box ( a virtual machine). Is there a way to do this without buying expensive software.dose ubuntu 9.10 have a product similar to Norton ghost.

Ubuntu :: How To Create Disk Image And Uninstall Drivers

Aug 27, 2010

Basically, I want to be able to create the perfect disk image of a CLEAN Ubuntu installed in a 30 gb partition. The problem is, if I install Ubuntu, then some drivers are installed automatically. I am using an old computer at the moment (my main is back at home) and I want to be able to create an image so that when I restore that image onto my main computer, it is not cluttered with drivers of the old computer. Is there a method that can be used for uninstalling drivers?

I am looking for the cleanest way to uninstall drivers, hopefully to the point where it will not leave any "residue" That is my first question. My second question (in general about disk image--I have never actually created nor restored an image): Can I create an image of partition A and restore the image on partition B? Basically, creating an image of one partition and restoring it on another partition. Or does it have to be restored on the original partition?

Also, what if it is the same scenario but partition B is a larger size? I know that if partition B is smaller, it cannot be done because the image is larger than the partition. Finally, can partition A be restored onto a different hard drive? I have yet to find answers of these questions on different forums in other sites (this is my 3rd try). I know that the Ubuntu community is extremely active and more than willing to share their knowledge.

Ubuntu :: Create A Hard Drive Image That Just Load Up?

Jun 23, 2011

I'm overall realitively new to Ubuntu 11.0.4 and I had some questions regarding this operating system. I just wanted to inform everyone, that I'm attempting to make a transition, from a life time Windows user and a current Windows 7 Ultimate user, to being a Ubuntu user.

I am becoming fedup with Windows 7, because i dislike how much system resources, it requires to run, and in addition I'm skeptical about Windows security. I had a lot of bad experiences with the Windows updates as well, so I was kind of alienated, as one can imagine. What I did like about Windows 7, is how easy it was, to configure the user group policies. I was wondering if you were able to do that in Ubuntu latest release.

I also was wondering, if it were possible, to create a hard drive image, that I can just load up, if I ever needed to reformat, like I did in Windows 7.

With my Windows 7 (can I say that here?) machines I can create a system image and a system restore CD with a fair amount of ease. Is there a similar process available for Linux?
