use the device file, not the mount point
Authored by: juz10mac on May 10, '05 06:35:53PM
You are using /Volumes/jeff for your in file. This is the mount point of your volume (where its files can be accessed), but is not the device file. Use the command 'df' to see where Jeff is mounted. It should be something like disk1s3 or something. Use the command
dd if=/dev/disk1s3 of=~/Desktop/Jeff.dmg conv=noerror,sync
(assuming disk1s3 is the device file for jeff. It will most likely be something different).
