So, fingers firmly crossed, have I managed to copy enough of my hard drive with the first two commands to be able to patch back the catastrophic damage I seem to have done with the last command. Could someone more confident than I give me some instruction:)

sorry ... dd is final ... it did what you said as a root user. dont you love linux ... it does EXACTLY what you say when you are root.


The point was Morgan has an accidental sort-of backup of the bit
he dd-ed over.

he copied 1280 blocks .... then overwrote it with 2348 blocks ... the damage is done
