Well, if dd can read anything from it then probably the first 10k or so should be sufficient for file(1) to determine the type: dd if=/dev/hdc of=myfs.iso bs=10k count=1 As for the hardware having problems - there is a web site with "improved" DVD firmware: http://forum.rpc1.org/, I used firmware from it to enable unlimited multi-zone on one of my previous DVD burners, it's a totally different issue but maybe you can find some answers there. --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
