Hi, I'm trying to use "dd" to copy one HD to another. The original is an old W95 disk, 1.7 GB and the destination is a blank 3 GB disk. I do (booting from install disk floppies and dropping to a prompt): $ dd if=/dev/rwd0d of=/dev/rwd1d and wait 1,769 seconds and then it finishes. But when I do this, the copy doesn't boot when I move it to the destination system; it's as if there's no OS. The original disk boots just fine. So, is there some extra-special secret sauce needed to make a "clone" of a disk with dd? Thanks -Mike
