Thats a good point, thank you! what program does "DD" stand for?

Dd is a comand line tool to read/write to files. It is used for proper (but slow) cloning of hard drives (copying drive sector-by-sector, bit-by-bit to make an exact duplicate).
But you can use any tool you'd like. Clonezilla is an often recommended imaging/cloning tool which brings a lot of cloning techniques with it (e.g. dd).

thank you i will give it a try.
