When dd is used, it writes raw, filesystem and all.
Yes, but Windows is strange when dealing with things like SD cards and USB storage. It is impossible (with the usual Windows tools) to format and partition these devices, AFAIK. Back around the start of USB mass storage I sometimes needed to do things like change the partition table from a HDD version (four physical partition entries) to a floppy-disk partition table (one physical partition) or vice versa in order to get the hardware to boot, recognize a BIOS update, etc. It was impossible to do this on Windows, but just a few quick commands in Linux. :) -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
