just make it an iso file image.... `man mkisofs`

that way, you can just write it to a cd instead of your hd.

I think when I try dd it tries to copy the whole /dev/hda1(2.0 GB
instead of just it's contents,the win dir(672 MB)I've tried the size
option (ibs&obs)in the dd man page but I must be doing something
wrong.How can I use dd to copy just my win dir on /dev/hda1 not the
whole partition?

                Thank you,Gary Martin.
