Unable to create bootable SD card from img file using dd
I am using this for my command :
if=<my path to my img file> of=sdc(my sd card) The terminal output states, 9+1 records in 9+1 records out 37912576 bytes(38 MB 36 MiB) copied Check the card and nothing there. I tried using BS=4mb as an option with the same result. Where did I go wrong? |
The of part should be: of=/dev/sdc to write to the device named sdc.
|
yancek is correct that the /dev/ needs to be in. (be sure you have correct sdx)
Notes. Also some medias use different block sizes (BS=). I generally leave that option out but can help in speeds and place correctly on media. https://serverfault.com/questions/65...rove-the-speed Option like sync may help - never known it to hurt. |
One needs root permission to write to a device also, so the command should be proceeded with sudo or should be run as root.

Thanks everyone. I left off /dev.
