dd usb

May 18th, 2007

I'm trying to duplicate a usb drive I installed debian. To do so, I'm using the dd function, and I'm actually doing it from the Mac OS X command line.

dd bs=512 if=/dev/disk3 conv=sync,noerror of= ./usb_debian.img

dd Ghosting / Backup Notes

The final code and output:

dd bs=512 if=/dev/disk3 conv=sync,noerror of=usb_debian.img

AWESOME! I just transferred the image to a new, different USB stick, plugged it into an HP t5135, and it booted! That rocks.
