*Goes back and re-reads* Ah, OK. I did not follow before. I think Windows is a really poor choice for this. Worse, it might have tried to mount the filesystem R/W and conceivably damaged it further. Rufus I use for writing Windows ISOs to USB, but nothing else. I don't think it's a suitable tool for this at all. > Active Disk Image, and Macrium Reflect programs Never heard of them, I'm afraid. I used to have Windows tools for this stuff, 2 decades ago before I stopped using it unless someone was paying me to, but they won't run on Win10. > to copy it an > image file and then back to the CF.

It could be-- but it could also be that they're trying to copy a mounted FS or something. > As far as errors, as stated in my OP, "Since the voicemail card is > running headless, I can't see the error messages."

Do not confuse this with the older (but still maintained) dd_rescue which is the product that inspired the GNU one; the newer one is more capable. It images but skips and continues on error, whereas ``dd`` will simply fail. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
