Re: dd failed

I wanted to clone a drive as I have done many times before. I booted from
a knoppix cd and ran dd if=/dev/hde of=/dev/hdg as root. Both drives had
been proven to be sound and bootable before this exercise. The process
stopped with the message 'input/output error'. My question is: 'What tests
can I make to identify what might have gone wrong?'

Obvious question perhaps, what is the size of each disk? If hde is bigger
than hdg, that could be a problem!
