Have you tried Clonezilla?

Subject: [GRLUG] Cloning FAT32 secret? 

Tried a number of ways to clone a FAT32 (W98) drive for an embedded 
system: 

> partimage backup/restore 
> dd copy of partition 

Both created a copy of the partition with files, but neither leaves a 
usable/bootable partition entry! (Tried both FAT32 & FAT32LBA.) 

In addition, dd'ing the [466b] MBR DNW, .. neither did fdisk /mbr - fdisk 
on a Win98 CD sees garbarge for the volume name, .. nor did gag [installed 
from System Rescue] see the partition as bootable. 

Is anyone aware of a reliable way to clone a FAT32 partition? System 
Rescue has always been usable in the past, esp. w/nfts, so it's been a 
while since I tried FAT. 

TIA, 

Lee
