Y-Geo 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 Hi, Thank you for posting and sharing this test. However i find that step 1 gives the impression it is in a widows environment I have 3 flavours of LINUX here and none have start menu> accessories . Perhaps changing / adding open a Konsol terminal or Command line terminal would clarify the fact that this test is in a LINUX environment as the only way I knew what it was is the DD command. thanks and keep up the good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
