Thanks for this explanation. It didn't work though. For /dev/sda it 
gives "dd opening '/dev/sda1': no such device or address.
For /dev/sda it gives:

"
dd: reading '/dev/sda': Intput/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
"

Idea's?

No, it's windows 98 se. I suspect it's fat because the "disk" is only 
256 MB.
