<div><br><br>thems 2 different questions of course:<br><br>1. "dd if=/dev/disk1 of=myfile.iso" works for me. you could try specifically defining the bs, though you shouldn't have to.<br><br>2. resource busy would seem to be the real issue here, assuming that /disk1 works in every other respect, but locks up when you try to dd it?
