Hi all,

Today, when i tried to create a Debian Bootable USB stick as shown in
http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/02/25/installing-linux-on-usb-part-7-install-debian-linux-from-usb-drive/
 . In the step, where the boot.img.gz file is extracted, i
accidentally gave the zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda which is my hard
drive instead of USB. After that i could not boot the computer. BIOS
is not responding. Is it due to a corrupted BIOS or some other
hardware failures? My laptop is Compaq Presario CS40-145TU.

Thanks,

M. Varadharajan
