GRUB Boot Disks Under Windows

Post by elaverick »

Just a quicky for anyone wanting to make the GRUB auxilliary disk under a Windows environ. without having to install Cygwin.

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/dd.htm

This is a Win32 native version of DD. Syntax is very slightly different due to drive naming conventions so Window command for writing the Aux disk is as follows:

dd if=stage1 of=\\.\a: bs=512 count=1
dd if=stage2 of=\\.\a: bs=512 seek=1

Hope this helps someone out... certainly did me :)
