the system that this thing is in runs QNX and everything that is attached runs on top of it.
what I need to do is pull this thing - unlock it , dump it and play. I'm working on an alternate image to load back into it on another drive exaclty the same. issue being there WILL be a software difference between the two images. its that difference that I need to compile into a third image so I can test my theory.
ben,
was looking at hd tools to start fiddling with it but considering I only have one copy to start with I'd prefer that someone else imaged this thing. if I lose the data I am literally screwed!
