Hi again....no the "dd" command that I posted now gives me an I/O error. No longer getting the geometry issue but, still not perfroming the dd command.

Thanks again.

To be done in single user mode:
Code:
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
# mount /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 | ufsrestore xf -
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0

Repeat steps 2 to 5 for each slice (beyond slice 0) containing a file system.

A back-up without a proper restore procedure is worthless.
