I am really sorry, but how can I get info on drive number running physdiskwrite from DOS CLI (as admin now) ?
All I get is help text on usage and parameters and -d stays for driveno (no confirmation prompts). So I must to know driveno in advance (I assume so). Run PhysGUI once again, as admin and selected USB drive G, right mouse click and after some data transfer CLI DOS window closed Disk FAT32 has no data. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Tom Chadwin <nnpait.servi...@googlemail.com> > To: AstLinux Users Mailing List <astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Wed, 14 July, 2010 19:17:55 > Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] re.
