Which is the > purpose of asking for a cdrom sector cloning program or utility. 1. Neither dd nor readcd does "file reading". 2. You don't need to clone sectors to copy a bootable cd. 3. readcd has a clone switch. 4. If your "hidden hardware security measures" read the ATIP, you are lost anyway. Fabian -- ******************************************************************** ** Fabian, thanks for the insight. I am running 4.10 generic kernel with 2 ata cd drives. Master is read only and slave is rd/rw. How would I code the burncd command to read all the music files from cd0 and write to cd1 without work file in between? How would I code the burncd command to clone a bootable cd without work file in between? Thanks
