Were you root (# prompt) or non-root ($ prompt) when you ran that command? |
Frankly I don't remember. |
By default, a terminal session will run as an unprivileged user. That user will not have the privileges to read from the block device (which would explain your "Permission denied" error). You'd need to use the
su command first (which will give you a # prompt), and then run the
dd command.
If you were already root when you ran the
dd command, then I'm stumped.
