BTW, wondering why is Rohan using sda1 when dd requires only device name in the output without any mount.
Well usually when i mount my USB drives in linux i usually use sda1 to refer to the pen drive and so i used sda1 there ! Well, actually what will happen if the USB drive is mounted ? does DD give any warnings regarding that? I wanna find out the reason why it cleared all partition tables! What it did was, it wrote a new image about 5 MB on the harddisk that i have and then there was no chance of doing (dmesg) because the whole system had already gone down ! Well, if anyone could find out the reason behind this! Thank You, -- Rohan Dighe Fedora Ambassador India. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RohanDighe PS:- If anyone wants to see a demo of what exactly happened i can do it again. i have done the same thing with different USB drives and still it is the same. I could recover all the logical partitions with the recovery software. Primary partitions cannot be recovered. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
