<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I have been trying several different
programs including the DD command, and either the program seems inaccessible
with Orca, or I was not able to place my image to be, into another
drive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I am running Ubuntu from a live
version on an 8GB card.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I have a bootable USB 16GB thumb
drive that I want to make into an ISO image on /dev/sda2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>/dev/sda2 is where my old Ubuntu
lives, and I cannot boot to, as grub got messed up, and I just fixed the MBR so
I could at least boot into Windows on that system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>On a side note, I tried fixing GRUB
with no luck, so I will just get a larger drive and reinstall everything, and
copy out files from that drive when I replace it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>In the meantime, if I do get GRUB
working again, this making an ISO image would be easier, because in one program
I was using, it would only allow me to make an ISO of the USB drive into a
directory of this live boot disk, which is only 8GB.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>The boot disk I am wanting to make a
copy of is /dev/sdb</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>So with DD, I tried:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>sudo dd if=/dev/sdb
of=/dev/sda2/home/Downloads</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>And I even tried it directly into
/dev/sda2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>and I tried all commands with giving
the ISO a file name at the end, like /dev/sda2/usb-image.iso</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I tried it with acetoneiso and it
gave me the same errors as DD did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I tried k3b and genisoimage, and a
couple others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I would even write it to a folder on
/sda1 if possible, which is an NTFS partition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for any ideas.</FONT></DIV>
