Yep, it's possible and also maybe easy.
DD'ing the partition won't make an iso, iso has its own filesystem, but it does make an image, which can be applied back easily. Just remember to format that 98 partition to clean it just before restoring that image..
In case you need help, here are those commands (For a HD install, not frugal): To backup:Quote | sudo dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/win98 bs=1k |
If you want, just burn it to a cd as a normal file. Restoring that, assuming that your cd is /dev/hdc and mounted:
Quote | sudo dd if=/mnt/hdc/win98 of=/dev/hda1 bs=1k |
If you wish to format FAT32 from Linux, get dosfstools from MyDSL.
And that will not mess with Grub..
