Hello! I have this project where i want to create a dual boot system between Windows and Linux where a script using parted creates partitions for this. Furthermore, I have a template installation where I copy the Linux partition including grub with dd to a file. This file I want to copy into the target installation, again using dd.
I have tried making a partition after the windows NTFS partition with parted (also tried manually using fdisk) and then copying the partition image into this partition with dd if="image-file" of=/dev/sda2, but this do not work! I get "Unable to boot operating system" on that bootable partition. Any ideas on what I do wrong? Here's the output from parted -s /dev/sda u s p free Model: ATA Hitachi HTS72108 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 156301488s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 63s 8610839s 8610777s primary ntfs 2 8610840s 156296384s 147685545s primary ext3 boot Here's Regards, Helge Fredriksen
