Hi a,<br>
<br>
/dev/sdX is more or less the whole drive, including all partitions.
/dev/sdX# is the individual partition to that drive.<br>
<br>
To see the list of all drives and partitions, you can run this
command:<br>
<blockquote>lsblk<br>
</blockquote>
Typically you will want to dd the whole drive, so your if= should
probably be /dev/sda and the of= should probably also be /dev/sdb.
Though this doesn't apply to *all* circumstances, but I believe
would make the most sense for what you're trying to do.<br>
<br>
Though you will want to be super careful with what the dd command.
If you move around sata cables, the /dev/xxx can change. I always
check lsblk to make sure I have the right drives *BEFORE* I run the
dd command.<br>
<br>
