So I recently setup my Vista bootcamp partition just the way I like it and want to back it up.

First I tried Disk Utility, but gave me an error message that it was too large when in fact I had enough space on my external. Then I tried SuperDuper, but it did not see the bootcamp partition.

Any suggestions as to how I can make an image of it so I don't have to recreate it?

I'm the last person on planet Earth you want using Terminal. :)

I use dd all the time to make ISO images of CDs and the occasional flash memory card/stick. I have made a backup of the Windows partition, but I have not verified that I can restore it.

The joys of unix, everything is a file. :p

(Doesn't help the OP though).
