Sorry Steve your right

I did a quick test of what you suggested on my laptop because my server 
is down stairs. My laptop is running Ubuntu and it didn't work.  I just 
went down and tried it on Centos and it worked :) :)   I was able to 
copy the content of the first disk to the hard drive.  So I will try the 
cat < /dev/fd0 >> tempfile.tar on all the discs to see if that works.

You guys are life savers.

I will let you know what happens
