No restoring is needed. dd if=debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M; sync will obliterate the drive's contents. Note it is /dev/sdX, not /dev/sdXN. Writing to partition number N will not make the drive bootable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
