OT Rescue CDs/DVDs

[Russell Reiter]

If you are using gparted you have the option to resize a partion, not
that I do that at this point, but you will need a destination file or
partition containing the exact byte count of the input file including
bad sectors, I think. I believe that dd does an exact image overlay. I
may be wrong though.

Slax and other's that install from writable media like usb pens, could
allow you to fiddle with the byte count till you got it right. Make
the partion on the usb pen the size you need to recover the initial
data before booting the system in order to recover the data.
