You have to know that "bs=" and "count=" is refering the blocks of disk, not the MBs on disk. but you can get the correct information with the comand sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda1 the command will show the correct way to represent the blocks of your disk.. <div>2007/4/13, Rolf Edlund <<a href="mailto:rolf_e@telia.com">rolf_e@telia.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Bruno Cezar Rocha skrev: <blockquote cite="http://mid760a04d20704131003g63b85726n7ae6698b8ea46f30@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc bs=4500 count=1 </blockquote> Thanks Bruno! I knew about the 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc' part. It's the 'bs' that I don't understand so good. Is there a easy way to find out, the exact size of the data on the NTFS disk ? /Rolf </div> -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Bruno Cezar Rocha <a href="http://www.mercadovegan.com">www.mercadovegan.com</a> "Compra Consciente" Contato: <a href="http://myspace.com/brunovegan">myspace.com/brunovegan</a> orkut: brunovegan Msn/Google/email: <a href="mailto:brunometal@gmail.com">brunometal@gmail.com</a> ||SEJA VEGETARIANO ! ||
