Again, you are doing math wrong. You told dd to skip to byte
6114294890496 (2 * 1024 * 2915523 * 1024) in a file that is only
8018991104 bytes long. Nothing wrong with dd...
Well Chris, I was following Rick's suggestion.
Please have a look at his replies to me.
I removed the 'K' from the skip value and it worked.
Kind regards,
JD
