What the hell ... ? Why does dd talk of filesystems ? I'd understand if it said "Permission denied". The superuser isn't what he used to be. Googling brings no insight: If it was an SD card, the advice would be to blow air through the card reader. Is any filesystem on /dev/sdd* mounted ? If so: Does it help to unmount it before dd ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
