Re: extract .img
if you want to extract it to a device eg /dev/sda1 use:
Code:
dd if=name.img of=/dev/sda1 Have not tried this myself, so be careful... Don't know if et works. Try to consult the manual: man dd |

Re: extract .img
just a small warning to beginners that stumble on this thread - the commands below which copy the img file to a USB device also wipe your device of anything else on it.
****edit - update After doing more reading - Be very careful with the dd-command also know to some people as Destroy Disk. Your target in the above example WILL BE deleted and at this stage i have not found a recovery solution. In my opinion dd-command is NOT for beginners because you get no warnings of what it is about to do. I would suggest do not use it. Last edited by darbid; June 24th, 2008 at 02:58 AM.. |

Re: extract .img
Although the extraction went fine, I cannot mount my usbdisk anymore. It doesn't recognise the FS....
How can I reformat the usbdisk? Or make it work? |
