Is it possible to restore Windows from a backup image via Ubuntu Live CD?

[d3mncln3r]

I plan on creating a backup of my Windows installation using DriveImage XML (unless you have a better idea ;)) then wiping my hard drive clean, creating a new partition for the backup install to live, and then installing Ubuntu on another partition.

Is there a method of restoring my Windows backup to partition 1 by using the live cd? Then of course I can install ubuntu to partition 2.

Are you asking if you can use an Ubuntu LiveCD to restore an MS Windows image you made using DriveImage? I don't know ... but my guess would be no. Doesn't DriveImage provide the ability to create a BootCD that you can use for restore operations?

Personally, I have found that Macrium Reflect does a great backup/restore job -- and the free version allows you to create as restore CD that you can use.

No that is not possible. What software did you use to make your image ?
