Can I use UB tools to create windows 7 recovery disk?

[mringer]

I have a new PC from Dell: one disk, parted says:

1049K -- 106M     primary     fat16       flag diag    used 10M
106N  --  15G     primary      ntfs       flag boot    used  5G
rest of disk      primary      ntfs       no flag      used 17G

Dell provide a process to make a recovery disk. This ran with no
visible error, but there seems to be no way to find out if the
recovery disk will work until the day when I have to use it for
real.

Please is there a procedure to boot from a live CD and use Ubuntu
programs to make backups? I understand that if you simply mount
these partitions and use tar to backup, then after restoring, the
restored disk is not bootable.

Thank you.
