I skipped over most of this thread, I now wished I hadn't :-) Not having |
| 11 |
the previous posts handy, this might already have been answered, but |
| 12 |
I'll go ahead anyway. The way I normally do the extraction is very |
| 13 |
simple: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
from mbr: |
| 16 |
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/pts/0 bs=512 count=1 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
from disk partition: |
| 19 |
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/pts/0 bs=512 count=1 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Change the of= appropriately, of course |
