How to backup (clone) a complex partition HD ?
My general question is how to backup rather complex looking partition structure. Specifically, my question is what software to select and whether any "not-too-expensive" software will do the job (plus the restore).
The computer is a new ACER aspire one (D257) with Win7 Starter that offers Android at bootup.
The harddisk shows the following map:
PQSERVICE Partition(01) 13312MB Windows RE
MBR 1 Partition(02) 4199MB FAT-32
System Reserved Partition (03) 100MB HPFS/NTFS
MBR 3 Partition (04) 287630MB Extended
Acer Volume (047f) 287630MB HPFS/NTFS
Can you see anything special that would make backing up use anything but a conventional cloning procedure? I'm worried about the boot to Android, since I don't know where that is coming from (MBR or somewhere else?).
Thanks for any tips or tutorial refs.
