Teg, I've solved the issue with mine. hang fire and I'll post full instructions in the morning!

Your maths is correct (see post 9) As that is the block address in relation to the start of /dev/sda2. 37821812 was a typo (I copied and pasted the command straight from an example to save time). The actual LBA I used was 809774301 which is correct for /dev/sda as the device. Also dd isn't...
