I've pretty much given up, dd doesnt work either, neither ext drive. I'm resigned to it not working. :/
What error gives 'dd'?
That drive is special:
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 33553920 bytes
and how are you invoking "dd"?
dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sdb1
dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=64K conv=noerror,sync
Why sync? It will go terribly slow in your situation. Try bs=32M or bigger. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
