[lug] question about dd

[Steve Casal]

Hi,
    I would like to create a file that's an image of exactly what I want on 
a given hard disk. In other words I want to specify the exact contents of 
each sector of the given drive. I would think that I should be able to 
create some kind of file that can act as an "image" of the drive and then 
use dd to get this so called image on the drive. Unfortunately, I'm not very 
familiar with dd and have never done anything like this before. I'm hoping 
someone can give me an idea of how to accomplish this.

Steve
