HowTo boot from Stick or SD and restore the system
- F2 on Boot give U the BIOS
- F9 on boot - reapedly during (juts after BIIOS)
gives you restore function to go back to delivery state
- ESC leads you to a boot menu, where you can choose the boot device
USB ....... SD... is the SD drive, not a USB Stick (!)
Full Backup of SDD
i prefer a full backup of the whole SDD card including partition-table and all partitions to an external drive. here is howto... - you will need an external CD- or harddisc- USB drive or an USB stick (min. hmm 128mb, i guess)
- you need to put linux on that drive to boot into an external systems:
i used puppy-linux, which is not funny at all to me, but it works well and installs easly on a USB Stick.
these links explain all about it:
sudo bash
mkdir /mnt/backupdrive
mount /dev/sdX /mnt/backupdrive check the correct device or U kill some drive!! it is not necessary hdc - it changes if u have USB drive or SD cards the 'dd' step takes about 2 hours - at least with a old 40gb hdd via usb and the 4GB SSD quote :: dd if=/dev/hdc | gzip -c9 > /PATH/TO/BACKUP.gz
And to restore it: gunzip -c /PATH/TO/BACKUP.gz | dd of=/dev/hdc
