Won't this syntax try to copy my entire /dev/hda? Should I add 'bs=512' or
am I mistaken? Also, I've been able to get everything installed now by just
getting Mandrake installed then reinstalling Windows 2000. I'm now running
just fine and both OS's are playing together just fine (with lots of yelling
and kicking); will 'dd' ,etc. still give you the info you need or do I need
to re-create the situation?
