Can we access the newly created files after dd if=hda6_last_mon_backup of=/dev/hda6

Hello all,

Just want to know about taking backup of super blocks of each drive.
Consider I have dual boot for XP and linux. Let me explain the steps.

Code:

Boot to linux

Execute the command

          # dd if=/dev/hda6 of=hda6_backup bs=512 count=1

Here hda6 is FAT32 drive in XP ( let it be E drive )

Reboot to XP

Go to drive E

Create a new directory

Reboot to Linux

Execute the command

          # dd if=hda6_backup of=/dev/hda6 bs=512 count=1

Reboot to windows XP



Can I access the drive E?

If so, can I see the newly created directory ?

Kindly explain.

Thanks in advance
