You missed a few! :-) |

The actual number of 512-byte blocks is 979964 - 63 + 1 = 979902. |

Fdisk always reports 1k blocks in the "Blocks" column. Or if an odd |
| 17 |
number of 512-byte blocks, the number of 1k blocks with a '+' afterwards. |

Plus, you want the mbr as well, plus whatever is between blocks 0 and |
| 20 |
63, so better option might be: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
dd if=/dev/hda of=parttbl+mbr+boot.backup bs=512 count=979965 |
