Yes it can be when you have sata disks which are sd* because of scsi emulation of sata. AFAIK, when you use dd the device should be umounted. Can you tell more about the scenario when your partition table crashed?
I don't have any of the SATA disks. I had inserted my pen drive into USB2 slot and used this command, in sec's it crashed my entire partition table, i had 120Gb of important data on that. This is the command i had given dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/<device> (device=sda1)

Well, only thing i wanted to say was "BE CAREFUL" while using this command.
Rohan, It would be nice it you can set the subject appropriately. I have already deleted the previous e-mail so was not able to change the subject to OP's e-mail's subject.
Well, initially i had just replied to the previous mail,this time changing the subject. Now a days i have seen a GUI utility which does this work of writing-an-image to a removable drive and stuff.
