Assuming /dev/hda is the original drive, from which you're copying, and /dev/hdb is the target drive which you're copying to, the command: 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1' should work. I think. :) Might want to let somebody else verify, because this isn't stuff you want to fool around with, and my memory has been known to be worse than a sieve. -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
