so using testdisk i was able to see the following files. and i have uploaded a few images as well kindly go through them.
now i purchased an additional new 1TB hard disk to recover the data and copy the image/or entire hdd to this new 1Tb hdd, So i want to know how can i create an image of the old disk,,,

2 P HPFS - NTFS 8106 0 1 12159 254 63 65127510

Test disk has managed to identify my partitions, by using the analyse option, and below it gives the options to
[Quit ] [Deeper Search] [Write], if i select the write option will it restore the file partition and files without any errors,
To be safe i want to create a image of the formated hard disk and copy it in my new 1tb hdd where this linux os installed and even if i place the image in home folder it can fit that image easily as i have installed the new ubuntu installation in this 1tb hd just for file recovery.....
so as u can see from the screen shot when i go to the advance, i get the to see the partition but this time it show linux partition instead of the ntfs paritions shown earlier when the analyse option was selected can anyone clarify what this will do ? if i select the option to [image creation]? and why isnt it showing me ntfs partitions hwere ?? i had also tried to chanage the Type of partition type to hpfs - ntfs, but even after changing the parition type i still see the linux partitions how do i create the image partition of ntfs partitions as a safety measure !
plz help.. your help will be highly appreciated! thanks in advance !
