JK1150 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm personally having a problem with dd'ing. I'm doing it ubuntu and this is the command i'm using: root@ubuntu:/media/WDUSB2 # dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda it sticks at a blinking cursor (which I understand it is supposed to do), but my harddrive light doesn't go on (only in the usual spurts, not always on like it should be when copying over a whole image), and when I was trying this in knoppix I let it sit for hours and it did nothing. I also can't cd to /dev/hda or /dev/hda1. Any help? also, my friend installed is using vmware on his desktop and was wondering how to get networking to work. thanks for any help.
