What commands did you use to create the original image? If image.img was created by simply:- dd if=/dev/sda of=/image.img then bs is unnecessary. I use the following:- backup drive by:- dd if=/dev/sda (through netcat and bzip) of=image.img restoration is just reversed, works for linux, bsd, Windoof etc Note: I've only mixed Slax and Debian for the image and restore parts - so can't attest to the similarity of dd in other distros, and I only image to *identical* drives.
