[Patrick Wallek]

Ah, in this case I would take a look at the 'dd' command.

# man dd

for more information.

Hi,

dd is the best available option.

Aah, now I know why they give you so few info ??
You never ever gave anyone points, that is a very bad case. Be happy they at least told you the dd command.
