How to Restore a Disk Image Using Linux
- 1). Click on the main applications menu for the distribution that you are using.
- 2). Choose the "XTerm," "Konsole" or "Terminal" program to open a terminal program.
- 3). Type the command "fdisk -l" to see the hard drives that are seen by the operating system. Note the device name of the drive that you want to restore the image to. The device name will look like "/dev/sdb" and will be the first portion of the line.
- 4). Type the command "dd if=~/disk.img of=/dev/sdb" to restore the image to the disk. Replace "disk.img" with the name of the disk image. Replace "/dev/sdb" with the device name located in Step 3.
