Ok, with Highpoint 45X ATARAID this is simple. we have 11 blocks, so for example for a 4GB disk image: dd if=/dev/null of=hda.dsk seek=8388608 dd if=/dev/null of=hdb.dsk seek=8388608 8388608-11=8388597 , so: dd if=hpa.dat of=hda.dsk conv=notrunc seek=8388597 dd if=hpa.dat of=hdb.dsk conv=notrunc seek=8388597 (sorry for an eventual duplicate mail, but it seems that my previous mail was dropped due to .dat attachment) Giuseppe
