Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem that hopefully you guys can help me with.

I have been given a CW.dd drive image to analyse as part of my forensic computing module at uni. After a bit of googling i think the file extension is a mac based DiskDoubler image, although i am certain the image was made of a windows machine, as we don't have access to any Mac's.

Other students seam to have figured out how to restore the image as windows. Can anybody point me in the right direction regarding any programs capable of such a thing.

Thanks in advance :)

Dave
 
dd is a UNIX tool used for making direct binary copies of files, filesystems and partitions. You could use cygwin or a Windows port athttp://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/dd.htm

Of course I would check with your course tutor and clasmates first before you do anything just in case ;)
 
You wont be able to use dd in cygwin to write to a block device - get a livecd of your choice, and do it from there:

Code: 
>dd if=/path/to/dd/file of=/dev/hda (or whatever) bs=8192 (just to keep it on a leash
