Comment on Mounting a hard disk image including partitions using Linux by Steve

At least for Ubuntu Lucid, mounting offsets well beyond a 32-bit limit works flawlessly. Thanks for saving me a ton of time and copying!

I really prefer to image the whole drive so that I get boot sectors, etc and it can boot from a restored image with zero hassle. I just always thought that it came with the drawback of not being able to access the partitions in these images…

In the line:
#mount -o loop,ro,offset=1184440320 test2 /mnt/rabbit
Was “test2″ supposed to be “test2″, or was it supposed to be “hda.img”?
That could make a difference.

Comment on Getting Midnight Commander line drawing to work with PuTTY by randomperson

On OpenSuSE 11.4 setting PuTTY to UTF-8 fixed MC but broke Yast and several others that used line drawing. The fix was to edit language settings and de-select UTF-8 encoding. On PuTTY leave translation set to ISO-8859-1. You have to close your session and reopen before it will take effect.

Thanks a ton! Testdisk is infinitely better! I’ve been trying ChromeOS builds from Hexxah but since they’re built automatically sometimes they are corrupted. Using Testdisk I can quickly check to make sure that everything is ok. Testdisk even allows filebrowsing and much more! Will be using this tool from now on.

Comment on Starting Microsoft Outlook 2007 on Acer Vista system gives MSVCR80.dll was not found error by muppetmaster

i don’t use any of the acer programs so I uninstalled. When I uninstalled the Acer Empowering Technology application the eDataSecurity went with it presumable because it’s gone now and that registry entry does not exist.

Somehow this made things worse for me because outlook will not load. I have done diagnostics, repairs, and a complete re-install with no luck.

Comment on Mounting a hard disk image including partitions using Linux by eSoul

I know its an old article, but I wanted to comment that the reason your command to mount your offset partition inside your original disk image did not work could be because of a possible typo.

# parted hda.img
GNU Parted 1.7.1
Using /data/rabbit/disk_image/test2

You say the disk image is hda.img with your parameter for parted, but then parted says you are using a whole other file (/data/rabbit/disk_image/test2). When I run parted, my output is like so:

esoul@dionysus:/twoTB/eSoulBackup$ sudo parted ./taylor.dd
GNU Parted 2.3
Using /twoTB/eSoulBackup/taylor.dd

I know the version numbers are different and mine is newer, but it doesn’t have any effect on using mount to mount the partition at an offset. What really kills it for could be your mount parameters —

#mount -o loop,ro,offset=1184440320 test2 /mnt/rabbit

This fails possibly because you are not in the same folder as test2. Either cd to the directory or put the full path to the disk image and all is fine. Like so —

esoul@dionysus:/twoTB/eSoulBackup$ sudo mount -o ro,loop,offset=1573912576 taylor.dd /mnt/temp
esoul@dionysus:/twoTB/eSoulBackup$

No errors, no complaints, I can list directory contents just fine.

This is also a disk image with a NTFS file system and a “hidden” partiton before it. I have plenty of disk images sitting on my backup server and everyone of them will mount partitions inside of the device image with no problems.

Comment on Manual download of EverQuest II files by Michael Graff

I believe this no longer works after the more recent updates. The file is dated November 28, 2011 after downloading, which I think is the day when the new launcher appeared in the scene.

This article just saved my life, figuratively. Thank you so much!

quite an intresting project, good work! I wander if you can sugest me a circuit that can detect temperatures up to 300′ C. Want to build a preheating plate for BGA reballing. Hope to hear from you and good luck for future projects.
