How do I read a damaged disk with dd for Windows? Note that there are more methods to read a damaged disk. Mac users, see the other dd article. Using DD for Windows First. This works but is a little difficult. I had trouble in Windows 7. Using 'e:' crashed dd!! Two hints to help others.

@4e4en Yes, that was where I downloaded FAU folder x64 bit for Window 7 64, still no luck. What happened was, when I try to launch any.exe file, it runs and disappears Website stated: There is a problem with the manifest embedded in the version of Volume_dump originally distributed with FAU-1.3.0.2390 that prevents this program from running unless build 4053 of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 C/C++ runtime library already is installed on the subject computer. For some inexplicable reason the compiler generated a different manifest for Volume_dump than for other FAU binaries.

Volume_dump build 1.3.1.2390 corrects this problem and is included in FAU-1.3.0.2390a. Links on this page have been updated to point to the updated FAU package. Please test and report any other problems promptly So I downloaded FAU has been recompiled and linked to build 4053 of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 C/C++ runtime library. Installed and reboot, and still had same problem. The application ran and disappeared.

I've tried following the guides for installing Snow Leopard on my Mini9 but I keep running into the same issue. I try running the dd bs=1M if=C. Dell Drivers And Utilities Iso. Line on the ISO file and a USB drive but I keep getting 'Error writing file: 5 Access is denied' I got it to work once (copied 54 files?) but the Mini kept rebooting over and over again. I tried doing an xcopy on a mounted image (Virtual Drive) and that didn't work. I'm about to pull my hair out! Can anyone give me some help. I have NO access to a mac.

Ok, got the access denied situation fixed: Open cmd (Administrator) window. Select disk # (whichever one is your USB) 3.

Create partition primary 5. Select partition 1 6. Format fs=fat32 8. Exit There was a step between 7 and 8 where you type 'assign' but I found that not assigning it let you do the dd.exe line.

My new issue is that the SnowLeopard Install USB comes up with 'Mach_Kernel missing' error. What am I doing wrong? I don't have access to OSX so I can't format OSX Extended.

Will FAT32 work? So, since no one could direct me further, I reloaded OSX 10.5.6 using the DellEff method. Worked like a charm! After I did that, I followed the NetbookInstaller 2 method and there were no mach_kernel errors. It loaded without issue. Wmv9 Video Converter there. That being said, loading the 10.5.6 dmg and the DellEff info then erasing it and loading the 10.6.0 and the NetbookInstaller (ALL ON THE SAME TWO USB) is VERY TIME INTENSIVE.

It is 1:22 in the morning and I've got 14 minutes left on the install. So, if anyone else runs across this and has the same issues: Load the Old 1: Install on Mac and PC (). Substitute the Mac with TransMac for Windows After you've done that, follow the NetbookInstaller 2 (). You should have no problems. Ok, got the access denied situation fixed: Open cmd (Administrator) window. Select disk # (whichever one is your USB) 3.

Will FAT32 work? Getting this error after trying the steps above: Error writing file: 5 Access is denied any ideas? Zygote Human Factors.
