Yes. The device is /dev/hda3 on my machine and I see

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root      8192 Aug 23 01:32 Recycled
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 278315008 Aug 23 01:26 save2dsk.bin

("Reclyced" most likely created by W2k.)

Yep. I only used the option to create the file. The partition had been
created before (by PartitionMagic).

Have a nice weekend,
