the above command (in <b>bold)</b> was line-wrapped , in email and
in the web presentation!<u> Using only the first line would
overwrite the ouput file with zeros, and go on forever (up to disk
space)</u><br>
<br>
Let me rewrite the command, hopefully this time it will display
fine. <u>The correct command is</u><u><br>
</u>
<pre wrap=""><b># dd </b><b>bs=446 count=1 </b><b>conv=notrunc if=/dev/zero of=imagefile.img</b></pre>
<br>
(The part <i>bs=446 count=1</i> ensures that only the first 446
bytes will be zeroed)<br>
<br>
<br>
In the command you would substitute the <i>imagefile.img</i> with
the correct filename for output.<br>
