Winclone - Can't Restore XP Partition

jucardi said:
I backed up my BOOT CAMP partition with Winclone, trying to restore I get the same error message...

zoesdad had the same result with the imageinfo. You need to jump ahead to post #12.

Code: 
sudo /usr/bin/hdiutil attach -nomount -verbose -imagekey diskimage-class=CSparseBundleDiskImage [B]"/Users/Brian/Desktop/xpclone.winclone/Windows.sparsebundle"[/B]
sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil unmount [B]"/dev/disk0s3"[/B]
sudo "/Library/NTFSProgs/ntfsclone" --rescue -f -f -O [B]"/dev/disk0s3"[/B] [B]"/dev/disk2"[/B]

Substitute your source image, source device (provided after the first attach command) and destination device for the bolded bits.

You do seem to have a non-standard partition scheme since your Boot Camp partition is at /dev/disk0s2 not /dev/disk0s3. Did you remove the EFI partition? Can you post how showpart sees your disk?

Well, I'm trying something a bit different. Trying to encrypt the whole hard drive with True Crypt, and for that I can't use Boot Camp anymore, Windows has to be the first partition on the hard drive, then I'll need to install rEFit so i can pick the right booting system... I backed up both my Mac OS X and my Windows partitions so i didn't have to install everything again.

(Check out blog.taggesell.de/index.php?/archives/36-TrueCrypt-on-Macbook-Windows-XP.html )

I had some progress before you posted but then I went to bed that I'm going to post in a bit, but I'm at the last step, though the last set of commands didn't seem to work for me

Code: 
sudo ~/Desktop/showpart /dev/disk0

Returns "command not found"
 
Dumb me, I didn't read I had to download something and put it on my desktop, I'll give that a shot and I'll keep you posted... Thanks again :)
 
I was typing the reply yesterday night hoping I would be able t be done that same night :p (Windows cloning took too long so I just crashed while waiting). Anyways here's a quick report of everything I did, hopefully this can work as a guide if anyone should have the same problems in a future...

These are the steps to correct this problem, note that you must replace everything that says "/Volumes/JucHDD1/Untitled.winclone/Windows.sparsebundle" with the real address for your Windows Image.

This "/dev/disk0s2" with your actual target partition and

"/dev/disk3" with the actual address your Windows Image got after mounting it.

Cheers and Good luck! Credits to Mr. Balamw, our true hero :p


NOTE: Balamw, I read you're thinking of rescuing the Winclone project? if so, I'm a developer, probably not as experienced as you are with Unix systems, I'm new programing for Mac OS X (Objective-C kinda pisses me off lol, but I'm giving Project Mono a shot). If you ever need a hand, please let me know, and probably keep it open source so we can make sure this time the project isn't lost.




-------------------------- GUIDE STARTS HERE ----------------------------

Hey friend, I'm sorry, I didn't see the second command line you posted.

So i tried this one.

Code: 
sudo /usr/bin/hdiutil attach -nomount -verbose -imagekey diskimage-class=CSparseBundleDiskImage "/Volumes/JucHDD1/Untitled.winclone/Windows.sparsebundle"

and it seem to have worked a bit better, I got this in return

after that I opened the Disk Utility and I saw my Windows partition there under "Untitled.winclone" but it was unmouted so i manually mounted it. After that I tried using the following command

Code: 
sudo "/Library/NTFSProgs/ntfsclone" --rescue -f -f -O "/dev/disk0s2" "/dev/disk3"

and got the following error

Code: 
ntfsclone v2.0.0 (libntfs 10:0:0)
ERROR(16): Opening '/dev/disk3' as NTFS failed: Resource busy

So I manually unmounted the target partition and the source partition with the Disk Utility, then tried the command again, and "Cloning NTFS ..." :)


After that I downloaded the showpart file from here (uncompress it on the Desktop)

Entered the following command

Code: 
sudo ~/Desktop/showpart /dev/disk0

Which returned this.

Code:

 #      Start LBA      End LBA  Type

Then I entered this command (if your Winclone app isn't in the normal Application folder, you must correct the address bellow)

Code: 
sudo "/Applications/Winclone.app/Contents/Resources/gptrefresh" -f -w -m "/Volumes/JucHDD1/Untitled.winclone/Windows.sparsebundle" -a 3 -u -i 0x07 "/dev/disk0"

Well, I'm trying something a bit different. Trying to encrypt the whole hard drive with True Crypt, and for that I can't use Boot Camp anymore, Windows has to be the first partition on the hard drive, then I'll need to install rEFit so i can pick the right booting system...
Click to expand...

Just note that the commands provided work fine in the plain vanilla model, but I'm not sure how it'll all work with TrueCrypt and rEFIt.

Do keep us posted.

If I get it to work, I must certainly will keep you posted letting you know how i did it... Balamw thank you so much for your help, you saved me a lot of work with your posts. And please do let me know if you would like a hand rescuing the Winclone project
 
Well I managed to have Mac OS, Windows and Linux with the help of rEFI and the windows partition worked perfectly, but something weird happened.

After restoring with Disk utility my old Mac OS X partition, my windows and linux partition got damaged so i had to fix then with their own setups.

now... before i started doing anything, i deleted all partitions in my hard drive then created a windows partition, yet somehow my windows partition ended at the end of the hard drive and my Mac partition at the begining and I need the Windows partition at the begining of the Hard Drive in order for it to work...

I guess im gonna try again, this time leaving the first 100Kb free on the hard drive and see how it goes.

Any suggestions, I'm all ears
