In case the author is reading:

> first i tried to "dd" the whole disk to a file, but every time an input /output error occured, dd would of course stop.

This is exactly the purpose of the "noerror" option to dd -- to tell dd to continue reading even when an error returns from the disk.

ah, cool! thanks for the hint ...if only i knew then ;-)

Would be cool if more detail was mentioned about the PSU, make, model, wattage, etc
