Here is what I did and was unsuccessful at creating a problem. On my system, /dev/sda1 contains the root '/' filesystem, so I tried this: 1) booted with a LiveCD 2) typed this in a terminal: $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero count=200 bs=1 \ of=/dev/sda1 seek=50000 conv=notrunc 3) rebooted, ejecting CD 4) Ubuntu came up just fine. I wanted to get prompted for a root password and this didn't work. What am I missing?
