thanks again! it is not on an external drive it is an internal drive with just 1 partition the place where i want to put the image in. Mounting the device it is not a problem, then I could check with sudo fdisk -l

I've been checking: After mounting the storage drive, This drive is listed as sdb and there's 1 partition called sdb1. uops sorry about that!.

I wonder if something like /dev/sdb1 would work to store the image on my Storage drive, would like to put it on the highest level, instead of inside a directory: as it is an NTFS internal storage drive with just 1 partition and no other OS installed: do not care about dataloss this drive is new and empty.

 dd if=/dev/sda bs=256k conv=noerror of=/dev/sdb1/mybackup.iso

would like to make sure of something: bs and conv are properly written after "dd if=/dev/sda"?

understand that both drives sda and sdb have to be mounted for this concrete operation ( creating ISO from physical drive ). Is that right?.

Kind regards!.
