Hmm; is the drive still mounted ro when you try this?

\_ >/dev/hda2 is your linux root drive?
\_ actually it's /dev/hda7 which i modified the command for
\_ 
\_ >/dev/hda2 is a partition?
\_ yes, it's my / partition
So, just to confirm, you're issuing

dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/linuxboot.lnx bs=512 count=1

\_ I will try the of=/someplace/else.  this is a 8gb drive which is sliced into 
\_ 5 partitions /2gb fat/3gb ntfs/126gb linswap/1.9gb root/ 1.1gb home.

Can you if=/someother/dev and get it to work?  like:

dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/tmp/blah bs=512 count=1
