another "tar" question - backup XP

[Mick Mearns]

Hello list;
  I would like to know how to zip/bzip2/tar.gz etc my Windows XP
partition.

 I rarely use XP, when I last did - I realized what a PITA it was to
get current.
(fdisk/format/w98se/upgrade to XP/load drivers/load SP1/patch/load
progs)

So I would like to make an iso (while I still have space), and burn it
to DVD.

I know that Linux file permissions are not possible on vfat, but how do
I save the vfat file attributes? hid/sys/archive

Is there a script out there to do this?

Thanks
   Mick M.
