I am using a live cd of linux and would like to know how you would use the cp command to make a copy of a windows drive from internal to external for backup purposes, I would just copy and paste from withen windows but then things like pagefile.sys wouldn't be included, any thoughts?

You can make an image file with linux using "dd". It can make exact(bootable) image of your harddrive (or partition).
To use it type
CODE
dd if=your_partition of=backup_file

Substiture your_partition and backup_file with the real value
