I used the rescue disk on a computer that only has Windows 2000 installed, which partition was not mounted. So, yes, dd was on the rescue disk. > As for your tone and lack of understanding I think you take the cake > for gall. If you don't believe what I just DID, then stop writing about it. I didn't say that it didn't work for you. Only that the fact that it worked (or seemed to work) for you doesn't automatically make it a good idea. As for tone and understanding, might I suggest that you stop preaching to the list about a utility that most of us have used for years and you've used for days. I understand perfectly what's going on; it's you who's bumbling through with no real understanding of the tools or systems you are using, all the while calling ignorant those actually in the know.
