True, windows can not read or copy the drives. BUT dd on the Knoppix CD can. We use it all the time to copy image files to new hd. I've used it on my raid 1, with no problems and have used it to setup new drives.

We are a well aware of the modified XFS file system. It can and has been done. If you have read through the threads, you would KNOW this. dd uses a sector by sector copy of all tracks include boot, it does not need to know what file system is. There is also other copy programs used for frensic work that also can read these drives, and make perfect copies.

We can not mount the drives to read, but we can duplicate it.
