        Hi,

Maybe with robtest and some usefull :) unix tools for M$.

If you have a librairie ,mount the tape with robtest.
And use the dd from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ as Gary said in
previous mail.
I've never tested that, and I will test it now to see if this is =
relevant
,I'll mail you the result!

Regards

F@b
