Also, I saw this tool discussed *somewhere* (saved the link on some darned computer or other...) which can guess at the partition table on a disk:

I've not used it, be careful with that one.
Hope that helps,

Thanks Leo,
Aznwizkid [Jason ] and I spoke, and he has used the Winhex program to dup Tivo Disks very successfully. I did use Winhex to apply one of the Snap2200 bin images to a Snap drive with success instead of the Knoppix dd method.
Unfortunately, I couldn't use his Snap1000 image which had the 4.x software already installed.
I was able to get all my data finally by using a ghost clone which for some reason let the Snap have access to all the files. Something was still flaky as the data was devilishly hard to get off the server. Kept losing the copy during download if it was over 25mb.
New 200GB drives with 3.4.805 are working fine now in Mirror mode.
thanks for the input..... Think I'm still going to reByte. Don't trust my Snap any longer.
