Go up one level in this thread


I take it you're running Windows since you mentioned Nero... by chance do you
also run Linux? If Windows only let me know, I might be able to find something.

If you're not a developer, then it would be kinda a waste to download and
install cygwin just to run dd.

BTW dd basically means... do a binary dump of date from whatever device to this
file or another device. Really handy for backing up pure images of
CD/floppys/etc


Sincerely,
Joshua Shriver
