GRUB Boot Disks Under Windows
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2006 6:21 pm
Just a quicky for anyone wanting to make the GRUB auxilliary disk under a Windows environ. without having to install Cygwin.

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
