Several people have reported problems with Windows 7 and the dd tool used in the NBI2 guide. As I was replying to e-mail, an interesting idea was proposed: is Windows 7 64-bit the issue? I don’t know if dd was meant to work on 64-bit machines, or if it is just Windows 7. So if anyone who has had issues could report back with the error code and their version of Win7 (32 or 64-bit) by leaving a comment, it would be appreciated.

Since a few people were having a hard time understanding the written instructions, I added a few screenshots of the dd process. I took them from virtual machines running in Sun’s VirtualBox but the process will be similar on a real computer.

I need some help. I have used Linux before, but not on a regular basis. I need to know which distributions have the dd console command is installed by default and, if there are any without the command, how to install it. This is important because I am in the middle of writing the NetbookInstaller 2 guide (my biggest yet!) which focuses on using Windows or Linux to prepare the Mac OS Installer. Just leave a comment or use the Conatct page. Thanks a lot!
