Hi,
I've been backing up cd images by mounting them as block devices and using
dd to dump the image to a file  (all on win2k).   I just tryiied this on my
NT4 machine and found that :  "   mount -f -b  //./cdrom0 /dev/cda "
doesn't seem to work on NT (but works fine on win2k).  I get an error that
/dev/cda is not a recognized file or directory.  Is the Block Device name
for the cdrom on NT different than the name on Win2k?  (I tried //./cd-rom0
too,  to no effect).  Has anyone else had success with mounting the CD-rom
Bolck device on NT?

Thanks,
Bruce Dobrin...
