Yeah copying this windows disk from a mounted ntfs partion on linux to another ntfs partition I made using linux took like 15 minutes.

The windows disk didnt even boot in the end. I don't know why windows doesn't make it easier for people with Macs to make windows install disks. Or linux.

Making a windows install disk is like a chicken and egg problem that requires windows.

also, don't try to mess with changing the filesystem, there is voodoo in there... best to move partitions around or copy them across (ie, make one big enough to fit then use DD to dump it onto the partition

windows does tolerate being moved about, but not simple copies, the filesystem holds magic sauce
