Thread: Wrote to partition while making image file w/ dd: Did I mess it up?

-

hi everyone,

bought 500 gb hard disk replace 120 gb one. have external hard drive did:

sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/lacie/harddisk.img

in order make image of entire hard disk on external lacie hard drive. being bored (and stupid), decided go around , edit couple of files on drive during 12 hours took create image file.

took out old hard disk , put in new hard disk , booted using dapper drake livecd , issued command:

sudo dd if=/media/lacie/harddisk.img of=/dev/sda

when come tomorrow, computer boot up? or did editing screw files?

(the "editing" because using karmic koala ubuntu on hard disk trying copy, moved things in , out of swap , temporary internet files, accessing (but not editing, except time-stamps) of other partitions on hard disk.)
