These scripts can be used for creating and restoring Windows backup. Please be
VERY CAREFULL if you try it. Note, that you must customize these scripts
before using. I don't make something like "configuration file", because
settings are *very* volatile. If you specify bad $RESTORE_PARTITION, you can
damage your system! I hope you undestand.

File description:

WindowsBackup.sh  - create Windows image backup
RestoreWindows.sh - read backup from CD-ROM and write it to partition.
                    Used as "init" if booting linux for Windows
                    "reinstallation"

"Windows image backup" = image of partition, where you have installed Windows

Here are some hints, if you will create Windows image backup manualy:

- install Windows (Win95/98/2000/XP or other)

- install antivirus software

- install all software you need

- test your software with antivir

- configure your software

- arange your Desktop icons ;)

- customize "Start" menu

- defragment your disk

- boot to Linux

- create file on that partition containing only zeros and delete them (unused
  blocks in filesystems will then contain only '\0', which is very good for
  compresion ;)
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/win_c/zero
	rm -f /mnt/win_c/zero

- unmount partition (you must prevent filesystem change during create image!)
	umount /mnt/win_c

- create partition image. The best way is also comress it:
	dd if=/dev/hda1 | bzip2 -c -f --best > /mnt/win_d/Windows-Image-03-01-24.img.bz2

- I also create list of files on partition and md5sums.

- mount partition back


Reinstallation of windows is simple (DON'T TRY THIS COMMAND, IF YOU DON'T
KNOW, WHAT YOU ARE DOING !! You can damage your system.):

	bunzip2 -c -f /mnt/win_d/Windows-Image-03-01-24.img.bz2 | dd of=/dev/hda1

- Enjoy! ;)
