This is an annoying thread. Ranjan, jd1008, Jon LaBadie - consider yourselves lucky the OP did not experience data loss as a result of obviously bad advice. Even my house plant recognized what treacherously bad advice it contained. The OP very clearly, without any ambiguity, expressed reluctance to use the CLI. And even after demonstrating dangerous lack of understanding with the dd command, you guys kept on pushing him forward. Seriously, it makes you three jerks. You're the guys who take the bunny slope skier on a blue/black run, and then when they get stuck or hurt you blame them for it. What is wrong with you? All three of you were also condescending, the bad advice wasn't enough apparently. I think Lawrence's thanks is pure charity. Next time someone clearly expresses such aversion, maybe consider having no advice at all? For all you know he could have rebooted at any point, and /dev/sda would have been enumerated as some other drive, and your advice would have resulted in data loss. All of your advice was unqualified. Honestly, hindsight being 20/20 you three really should realize how you just dodged a bullet, and so did Lawrence.
