Problem with DD deploying img file.

I  currently have a problem deploying a new image to  a machine which is normally done by using dd. I had a machine disk break on me a week or so ago so I ordered a new disk ( exact Make/Model) which arrived today. The images sit on our network drive, known as slash.img and boot.img. We have a procedure that we follow every time a machine needs a new image and the images have been used many times in the past so i know they work fine. The commands I am running are below:

dd if=boot.img of=dev/sda1
dd if=slash.img of=/dev/sda2

When i run the first command it runs with no problems but the second command comes up with the error below. Could someone tell me what I can do to highlight the problem and fix it as I need to get this machine back up and running ASAP.

dd - writing to /dev/sda2: Input/Output error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
