Just to make it clear - even without really getting deep into your problem, you should know that 'dd conv=noerror' is pointless in your situation, because it does not write zeros (or anything) instead of the unreadable sectors - its writes nothing. So all the data after the first bad sector will be shifted compared to where it should have been, which will practically appear as a damaged filesystem, probably very damaged. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
