Hello,

I am using dd (coreutils) 8.11 on a GNU/Linux operating system.

I am trying to blank a 160 GB hard disk drive but I got an error and dd doesn't 
want to continue:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb conv=noerror,sync
dd: writing to `/dev/sdb': Input/output error
6160537+0 records in
6160536+0 records out
3154194432 bytes (3.2 GB) copied, 209.528 s, 15.1 MB/s

Only 3.2 GB have been copied...

Have you any idea on how to force dd to continue after errors?

Thank you.
Regards.
