dd: opening `\'\\\\.\\A:\'': No such file or directory If I try with double quotes instead with single quotes, or if I try without any quotes, although I get no error message, only 350 Bytes are written to the output file. This curious number of bytes is also written with dd if=\\.\A:of=some_file bs=1k count=1440 I tried several, fat12 formatted disks and got always the same number of bytes. But after all, this is even a progress :-) Thanks Mathias -- ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
