[Discuss] Disk and dd question

[Patrick]

Hi.  :-)

I know;
	dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/path/to/file
will read a partition whole, and pour its contents into a file.

Will;
	dd if=/dev/hda of=/path/to/file
read the *entire* contents of the disk?  `Entire' meaning MBR,
partition table, all partitions... the whole thing, as one file.
I kind of hope so.



Thanks,

Patrick.
