dd question
I'm a dd newbie...
I try:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=./this.img
The floppy drive spins for a while and then I get:
Floppy0: Probe Failed...
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 0
Floppy0: Probe Failed...
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 0j
dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
It seems to work fine for other floppies...(the only one I tested was my linux
boot disk)...this particular floppy is a unique case, with an odd format, with
bits in unusual sectors. What I want is just to make an exact image of this
disk onto another floppy....
Any ideas?
