Re: Problem with dd to raw disks

[Anees Mannesseri <ansmns at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,
 Thanx for the references. I tried the forward slash,
but that didnt help. After going thru the user's
guide, i tried /dev/sde instead of //./PHYSICALDRIVE4
and it worked. From what i could undertand, the
problem is with opening the file for write. Any clue
on how to get thru this ?

Thanx
Anees

It seems to a "quotation problem"...
