Thanks Tom, There is no problem with device discovery (devices are denoted by letters not by numbers. USB 4 GB drive.
The problem is with 2 GB overwrite limit removal. If I select (x) remove 2GB write limit new DOS window just flashes and closes. from http://m0n0.ch/wall/physdiskwrite.php == Special considerations for Windows Vista/7 physdiskwrite works with Vista, but you must make sure to run it as administrator (simply having admin rights isn't enough), or it won't find any disks. One way to do this is to create a shortcut to cmd.exe, then right-click it and select "run as administrator". Then you can launch physdiskwrite from the command prompt window that appears, and it should work fine. == // 0.5.1: increased safety overwrite limit to 2 GB (instead of 800 MB); can still be overridden with -u ---\\ Maybe I should use DOS CLI ? ----- Original Message ---- > From: Tom Chadwin <nnpait.servi...@googlemail.com> > To: AstLinux Users Mailing List <astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Wed, 14 July, 2010 18:10:17 > Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] re.
