Hi again,
I used boot cd for updcast.
Yes, the new hdd in exactly the same size and have the same layout becouse i used dd to get the same partition tables, and after that formated them.
But for now i only want to backup the boot partition, not the entirely hdd. And i know the problem is on the backup method or file, becouse i have a ghost image from the partiton and restored it without any problem, and everything is fine.
If use the file make with udpcast, i get error checking filesystem ( chkdsk ). I'm don't blaming udpcast, becouse i know it's me the one don't know how to do it.
Maybe the correct question is: is it possible to backup a partition, using updcast, through a network and strore it on a file server? For your answears i supose it is posible, wich steps you followed? or which option you use to backup to a file and restore from a file?
Thanks!!

What exactly did you use to create the image file? Does the new hard drive have the same physical layout as the original drive in the way of heads and number of sectors per track? Did you do a partition image, or a disk image.
You might want to look at g4l or g4u for imaging.
G4L includes ntfsclone coption, which only copies the used data, but it would require the NTFS partition to already exists.
It is probable something missing from the MBR record.
I use the g4l and make disk images of systems with 98, XP, and Linux on the 80GB drive, and it restores the images with no problems. NT and XP seem to be very picky on the disk layout.
