how to boot from a image transferred to internal hard disk
I have a dvd I want to boot from, on a certain laptop.
The problem is this:
DVD will NOT boot in laptop [1] with this DVD.
DVD WILL boot ok in laptop [2] with this DVD.
- Conclusion, DVD is ok.
* laptop [1] and laptop [2] boots other media in the cd/dvd drive ok.
I can see all files on DVD in both laptops.
As a workaround I copied the DVD image off the DVD drive to internal hard disk with following command and the result was as follows:
- result of dd command
# dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sda4
6298816+0 records in
6298816+0 records out
3224993792 bytes (3.2 GB) copied, 473.18 s, 6.8 MB/s
How do I make that partition [/dev/sda4] bootable ?
Thanks Glenn
