Right.  I've just written a full-blown reply to this message but on the
very last thing I did some looking into dd.  After some searching I
found somebody that said:

``One must specify conv=3Dnoerror,sync when copying raw disks with bad
sectors to ensure dd stays synchronized''

  I'm feeling sheepish now.  I've only used conv=3Dnoerror.  This would
probably explain something (i.e. I can read the config from the disk
because it's synched at the beginning).

  I'm going to re-dd the disk on Monday (I'm away for the weekend).
I'll tell you how I get on then.

  Thanks again for all the help,

-lewiz.
