Hey Igor, What you may want to look at is just doing a dump of the disk, byte by byte. What I'm thinking of is a utility that uses /dev/fd0 or another mount point as input and then will write the results to standard output. Sort of like a bin or raw image in other words. Such a utility would not be hard at all to construct. Problem is, I'll have to find the time to write it. Anyone wanna work on this project? Ether e-mail Igor igueths at attbi.com or me at eheil at rcn.com. --Erik ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Gueths" <igueths@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 3:34 PM Subject: possible sollution Hi all. I know I posted and suggested to take this off-list, but I thought I would get it out there anyway. What we ultimately need is a utility that would create bin images, because you want to preserve disk integrity. Teledisk doesn't work, because it seems to just duplicate the files, and it won't duplicate the bad sectors. It terminates with a data crc error. Sollution: Create bin image of entire auth disk, use a utlity similar to rawrite under Linux to write the disk. My e-mail address is igueths at attbi.com if anyone wants to write me privately on this. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
