Use Partition Magic or DFSEE to copy-clone the partition to another
HDD. This is the most sure to provide properly recovery. There are
many "backup" schemes, but this one is guaranteed to provide a working
recovered system. Do not copy to the same HDD. That creates
duplicate partition serial numbers, not good.
