I tried to go to the floppy /cygdrive/e/jos/GRUB> cd /cygdrive/a bash: cd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied I tried mounting the floppy /dev> mount A: /dev/fd0 mount: /dev/fd0: Device or resource busy then I tried changing /dev/fd0 to /cygdrive/a /cygdrive/e/jos/GRUB> ./mkboot *************************************** * JOS/GRUB Boot Disk Creator * *************************************** WARNING! You shoud run this program as ROOT Insert a blank disk and hit ENTER read: arg count dd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied dd: /cygdrive/a: Permission denied Boot disk creation completed the command in the script that I am trying to run is: dd if=stage1 of=/cygdrive/a bs=512 count=1 dd if=stage2 of=/cygdrive/a bs=512 seek=1 my main question is why is permission denied? and what can I do to get this command to work? I am sorry if I am repeating questions I tried searching the mailing list and couldn't find anything on this particular problem. -jeremy -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
