4) This ran fine.  I then wanted to verify that the data looked
OK, so I did
a "file" command
[root@LinuxForensics usbdisk]# file image3.dd
image3.dd: data


What flavor of Linux are you using?  Is the partition a LVM (Logical Volume
Management) partition?  Perhaps file fails to identify those (any else know
the answer?) I have seen the behavior you mention when imaging Fedora Core 4
drives, yet the images mount just fine.  Have you tried mounting your imaged
partition using loopback drivers?
