Hey Alberto,

Just wanted to let you know that this method worked for me!  In my 
case, the device was /dev/sda.  Not exactly sure why sda... perhaps 
due to the fact that the box I used to do the copy has only one USB 
port.  Or maybe it's a distribution(Fedora Core) thing.

Anyway... it worked!  Thanks!

Regards,
Vince
