imaging drives

ats1098 — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 06:57:21 GMT

I have DL380 G4 with 2003and raid 5 storage that I want to get an image of. I have 3 drive slots utilized and 3 open. I have Rdeploy imaging utility for Windows & DOS. I can't use the Windows Rdeploy while the OS in use and I have been unsuccessful with booting in to DOS and seeing the logical drive and a USB drive to copy to.

I have not done this before but any help so I can gain the experience and get this done would be appreciated.

Steve,

Obtain a WinPE boot image and add the rdeploy software on that. Boot the WinPE environment and run rdeply from there.
