I discovered in the process of unlocking my dot.bob2 that the original Seagate HDD is developing bad sectors. I copied over all of the partitions I could mount, and finally found where the bad sectors are. The following files couldn't be copied:
cp: reading `/mnt/hdb8/blueriver/var/cfg_db/SystemKey/Software/Applications/notepad_id/ApplicationName': Input/output error
cp: reading `/mnt/hdb8/blueriver/var/cfg_db/SystemKey/Software/Applications/notepad_id/AppDescription': Input/output error

cp: reading `/mnt/hdb8/blueriver/var/cfg_db/SystemKey/Software/Applications/notepad_id/AppSWInstallDate': Input/output error
I'd like to actually try out the dot.bob2's original OS, but it won't start the gui - and I think it might be because of this.
Alternately, I have a file server at home - so if anyone could hook me up with a disk image, I can accept it via ftp.
Thanks!
