i have ubuntu 5.10 on Vmware 5.5 and i tried this not once but many times

i did the dd command and wrote the public vga image..when i boot it stops saying Grub Error 17

Please BS or Indian boy or anyone who have experince reply coz im stuc..

the reason im doing this in Vmware is that before i write onto my hard disk i want to make sure it doesnt give this Grub Error...btw in the dd command i tytped /dev/sda1

Also i wanted to tell that i did a similar installation in Vmware 5.5 of WinXP Pro and then installed dd-wrt x86 using physdiskwrite..it installed easily..

but why am i getting this error messages?Please help me with ure feedback...I would appreciate it greatly..

Thanks...

use qemu-img to convert dd-wrt_public_vga.image into a vmware image (dd-wrt_public_vga.vmdk). this works for me for dd-wrt and openwrt.

you can use the win32 binary of qemu-img or convert it on linux. i used the win32 binary qemu-img.exe with the command below to convert the image:

although i appreciate your help confuseduser but the thing is i want it done almost like a replica of what i would do on my own system(for real)

thats why i dont want Vmware images...i want to try it virtually but EXACTLY like how i would do it on my system using my primary harddrive...

thanks again...

Then you should experiment with real machine instead vmware.
