Zip drive info.




I don't have a Zip drive but I will have one soon. I couldent get the 
first 2k from a zip drive so I'll post how to do it. I'm sure many out 
there know but this may get faster results. This is the command.
dd if=/dev/hda of=file.ext count=4

Some info so you know what this actually does. (I'm not trying to trash 
your boot sector now)

dd stands for the command disk dump, data dump, dog dump. whichever you 
prefer.

if is infile, which is your zip drive device. (It just hits me, does 
linux support zip drives yet?)

of is outfile. where the data is dumped.

count is number of blocks. 4 blocks... 2k.

Hope this helps. 

John
