43 Verify that the partition is listed in /etc/fstab and is mounted
44 (e.g. /dev/hda1). Mondo will take care of everything else. The files
45 will be archived just like all other files in the live file system.
46 At restore-time, Mondo will take care of the boot sector of /dev/hda1
47 prior to the restore.</P>
48 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
49 Note: if Windows ME/95/98 is not located on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1,
50 then Mondo will not take care of the boot sector of /dev/hda1. The
51 user will have to boot from a DOS floppy and run SYS C: to correct
52 the Windows boot sector.</P>
53 <H2 CLASS="SECTION" ALIGN=LEFT>
54 <A NAME="AEN139"></A>3.4.2. Windows NT4/2K/XP</H2>
55 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
56 Windows NT4/2K/XP typically use the NTFS file system, not VFAT.. The
57 user should use '-x /dev/hda1' (or whichever device the Windows
58 partition resides). Mondo will treat the partition as a biggiefile.
59 Mondo will also add an entry to the mountlist to reflect the size and
60 type of the partition. The user may not edit that partition's size at
61 restore-time (for obvious reasons).</P>
62 <P ALIGN=LEFT>
63 <B>Please bear in mind that Mondo was written for Linux users. </B>If
64 Mondo does not backup or restore your Windows system well, you might
65 want to consider paying for 1-to-1 technical support. Ironically, the
66 only people to pay for 1-to-1 technical support have been Linux
67 users, whereas Windows users want a free ride. That is one reason why
68 the Linux community gives me warm fuzzies.</P>
