Dennis,

Thanks for your input. I am doing what the manual says -
shutdown , copy, mount, alter, open and every time I'm getting the "unknown file header" message. I suspect that I am missing some parameters in my dd command because of - as Stephen suggested - different formats. I guess I will have to play with different parameters to see which one is correct.

thanks

Gene
