This shouldn't have anything to do with the end of the file. dd doesn't deal with files, it just takes bits from input and sticks them on output. In this case, telling it to read from the raw cd device, it will just read all of the bits from the disc and dump them in a file called 'cdimage'. The disc works fine? If you're getting an ioerror, it sounds like it might be scratched or something; the drive is having difficulty reading from the disc. I can't be sure, though. Can you paste in the exact message that you see? In the case of a file split up onto 3 discs, you should be able to just dd them off and append them together and it should be fine. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
