The "ls /mnt" will give you a directory listing of what you mounted @ /mnt. (The "ls" is equivlent to a "dir" command in dos.) If you copied the snap1000.bin file to root of c:/ , you should have seen it. This is just a check to make sure the files (source and target) are properly set.

I do not want you to over write the boot track on your windows hard drive.

If you have a usb pin drive. Another option would be to copy the bin file to it. Then type "dmesg|grep usb" locate your drive then mount it with "mount -t auto /dev/usb? /mnt".

Then do the "ls /mnt" again and see if you see your files.

If mounted you can continue to copy the .bin file to the hard drive.

Winndows XP, 2000, and NT default to NTSF format, which supports large hd. Fat32 is restricted to <137gig.

Make sure you have the hard drive jumpers set correct. Either CS or M/S.
Knoppix v3.8 would not boot on my computer with SATA drives. The reason for keeping Win98 with Fat32 drives.

There seams to be alot of people having problems using dd. I tried to write the instructions to make it easy to follow. After you get it to work, give me feed back so I can update my instruction to help the next person.
