I don't understand how to put the core files on usb stick

I read the instructions here  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _USB_stick but I am not sure how to do this I tried this way ( using cmd prompt on winxp x64) dd if=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Torrents\archlinux-2008.06-core-x86_64.img=/dev/sd[F]
but I get an error saying that dd is an unrecognized command, I have also downloaded Flashnul but I am not sure how to use it if I type in anything I cannot execute it because as soon as I push the enter key Flashnul quits. so could someone explian to me how to do this please

I have not used flashnul in a while so IIRC first plug in your usb stick and type "flashnul -p" at a command prompt to get a list of devices. Then type "flashnul flash_device_number -L archlinux-2008.06-core-x86_64.img" to copy the img to the device.

hank you for your reply.
Well  Iguess flashnul isn't working properly because when I type in "flashnul -p" it just quits.
I installed Cygwin and have tried to install it that way but I was getting errors saying no such file or dir.
Well it ended up being that my usb stick was "f: I kept trying dd if=archlinux-2008.06-core-x86_64.img of=\\.\f:Kingston"and not  "f: I kept trying dd if=archlinux-2008.06-core-x86_64.img of=\\.\f"
I am thinking that the The Cygwin Way
Make sure your cygwin installation contains the dd package.
Place your image file in your home directory, in my case it is:
C:\cygwin\home\John\
Run cygwin as administrator (required for cygwin to access hardware). To write to your USB drive use the following command:
dd if=image.img of=\\.\[x]:
where image.img is the path to the img file within the cygwin directory and \\.\[x]: is your USB device where x is the windows designated letter, in my case "\\.\d:".
Note: This will irrevocably delete all files on your USB stick, so make sure you don't have any important files on the stick before doing this.
should say that for noobs like me

  • How to put the ".class" file in Memory with Javac?

    The J2SE 6 RC have an tool : javax.tools.JavaComplier. I can use it to compile the source code in memory( I implemented an JavaFileObject).
    But the compiler aways put the output file(.class) to file system. It;s not my want to do . I am writing an IDE ,I use javac to determine the code error after the user's typing. So complier is used a lot , writing to file system is a time consuming job.
    I also want to use the byte code(".class" file) for reflection , so if the JavaCompiler can put the output file in memory and then I can reflect it.
    My current solution is puting the output file to file system then use Class.forName() to reload it in memory then reflect it. It seems a useless IO operation with file system.
    How can I do with it?
    Thanks!

    Those 'useless' I/O operations are one or two out of thousands that are implied by compiling a Java source file.
    I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Greetings world.I have created a dmg. of my entire iomega ext HDD via disk utility using a mac book pro. It is currently sitting on the desktop. I have erased the iomega and now I can not understand how to put the dmg back.

    It is safe to say that i need help..................
    let me start at the beginning.
    I have 1 2008 imac. always a pleasure never been a problem. Attached to it i have an iomega 500gb ext drive. also been ok.
    until now!!
    The HDD would not mount. Disk utility suggested that it was ok so i tested the imac HD. I got error code 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD- 1502. This doesnt worry me at the moment.
    I attached iomega to my Mac book pro and again it would not mount. The disk utility did tell me that the iomega needed repair. it advised that i should wipe it and restore.
    So I used the MB Pro disk utility to create a DMG. and saved it to the desk top. I then erased the iomega. did a repair and it all seemed ok. So then i try to do a restore.
    After a very long time it said internal error with the dmg. using disk utility i did a convert dmg (compressed) and saved it to the iomega. middle of the night job!!
    got up this morning and indeed it had sent the DMG to the iomega. But i could not open it. The iomega itself seemed dandy asking me if i wanted to use it as a time machine etc and it mounted ok and i saved a small jpeg to the iomega as well. I then thought that maybe when i did the convert as a compressed file i made a mistake. i'm guessing it should be a read and write so i started all over again.......... wiped iomega (which was quite quick) then tried the convert tool again.....it trys for a while then says there is not enough disk space...........I'm not sure which disk it is refering to.??
    I have purchased a 1tb hard drive today incase the iomega is some how full up.
    So really my question to the world is .........Help?

    well no reply from the community. sniff- do i stink!? - probably a little bit. If i have lost all that data then I'm gonna really really pong.
    Any ways i have purchased a 1tb usb HDD and have managed to duplicate the dmg file onto it. however still unable to mount the **** thing. so now i have ordered disk warrior which will be in my possession tomorrow.
    fingers toes eyes crossed.

  • I don't understand how to use the System Font Panel with iMovie.

    I need an explanation of how the System Font Panel works. I guess there's a way to get some of those fonts to the iMovie Font Panel, but I can't see how.
    Thank you.

    I have had good success with the System Font Panel. Now all of a sudden, I only get part of it. Any suggestions on how to restore the entire panel? There are no change size options in the corners like in some dialog boxes. I was going to paste what I have here, but for some reason, paste is not available.

  • Q: I don't understand how to use the teeth whitening tool in PSE 9.

    I've been going through the tutorials and following along pretty good but i got to the Perfect Portrait guided edit and didnt' get how to use the Teeth Whitening tool...it seems to select the teeth but then I'm lost....what am I supposed to do at that point after the marching ants are marching around the teeth?

    I’m not sure what’s going on, but obviously something is not happening.
    You could also try the dodge tool (keep pressing the letter O on your keyboard) until you see the blue dodge tool. No selection necessary.
    Enlarge your image to about 200% and use the square bracket keys to increase or decrease the cursor size to fit the area to be whitened. Set exposure in the options bar to about 50%. Gently brush over the teeth area until you get them as you like.

  • I need to reinstall but I don't know how to put the file in the original files place. I am so confused!

    I am trying to reinstall cs3 But the download instructions say:  "Before you begin additional installations or reinstallations, please make sure the installer is in the same location or drive it was during the original installation."  But that program is not even in my computer anymore. so how am I supposted to do that?

    Many thanks diesel.  I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates.  Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it.  Eileen

  • I don't understand how to put text files on 5th generation

    please help me, i dont even see where the settings thing is

    Connect your iPod to your computer.
    In Windows Explorer, go to "My Computer" where all the drives are listed.
    Double-click on your iPod. You will see a folder called "Notes".
    In Windows Explorer, you can browse for the plain-text file that you want to put on your iPod (this means plain-text files like .txt Notepad files, not .doc Word documents, for example).
    Then, simply drag those file(s) to the Notes folder on your iPod.
