Hi and Hi to everyone as this is the first time I've posted here, I moved to Norfolk from London a year ago and am here to stay, I will try to make one of your second Tuesday meetings in Norwich sometime.
When it comes to imaging a disk I have used g4u, info here: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/
and specific info on reducing the image size (part of his faq) can be found here: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/#shrinkimg

I have a CF card with two partitions - one ext2 and the other ext3. I want to create an image for the card but since it's about 1Gb in size, the image requires compressing before it can be ftp'd.
Is there a way to zero out any unused areas in the FS in order to optimise the compression?
Many thanks,
Stuart.
