SmilieGuys it is killing me slowly Smilie I am a total newbie in Linux but dd directions are really simple and as far as I understand it copies byte to byte but when I put the hard drive back in to the printer it gives me "Software not authorized" error. After spending so much time and effort it sort of becomes a matter of principal. I really want to crack this nut. I mean nothing is impossible, right? I know I will need your help - please any succgestions - I am willing to try. Thank you.
Another thing I was thinking of - what do you think of the possibility that HDD itself is tweaked? It is normal HDD to the eye, available by model number from numerious sources. What is bootloader? Is part of HDD or part of what we write on it?
Thank you very much in advance.
