neato. I've got all the partitions in the image extracted 
and mounted. I'm impressed.

If I want to dd these old partitions into a new (bigger) 
partitioned and formatted disk, can I just plunk them at the 
start of each partition in the new disk and expect the files 
to be readable or are there absolute inode numbers 
associated with files and the files won't be recognised in 
the new disk?

Thanks

Joe
