Thanks for this explanation. It didn't work though. For /dev/sda it
gives "dd opening '/dev/sda1': no such device or address.
For /dev/sda it gives:
"
dd: reading '/dev/sda': Intput/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
"
Idea's?
You formatted it in windows. What version of windows? Is it XP? IIRC
this default to a variant of NTFS and you will need a seperate package
to read it.
No, it's windows 98 se. I suspect it's fat because the "disk" is only
256 MB.
