Hi, A beginning analyst I needs some advice. please. I have imaged a very old Windows FAT drive (3.7Gb) and tried to verfiy the original physical drive integrity before imaging in RH Linux by hashing: # md5sum /dev/hdd I get an error: File Input/Output Error some way into the hash calc. Is this indicative of bad sectors ? I also get the same when I do a plain dd image , dd if=/dev/hdd. By adding conv=noerror I can image the drive, ignoring errors and this works, fine albeit very slowly. Any advice and knowledge much appreciated. Many thanks Michael ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
