- I don't have a Zip drive but I will have one soon. I couldent get the
- first 2k from a zip drive so I'll post how to do it. I'm sure many out
- there know but this may get faster results. This is the command.
- dd if=/dev/hda of=file.ext count=4
-
- Some info so you know what this actually does. (I'm not trying to trash
- your boot sector now)
-
- dd stands for the command disk dump, data dump, dog dump. whichever you
- prefer.
-
- if is infile, which is your zip drive device. (It just hits me, does
- linux support zip drives yet?)
-
- of is outfile. where the data is dumped.
-
- count is number of blocks. 4 blocks... 2k.
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- John
