ALWAYS be careful of the disk names you give to dd as input.

2 0 ReplyProbably, dd doesn't care. dd does what it is told.

[X] I ran dd and now my computer won't boot
24 0 ReplySure it will, to the iso you just overwrote your boot drive with lmao

You guys are still using SATA?
14 1 ReplyShhh let's pretend we are for Groo's sake here.
Although in all seriousness, my desktop has both: a 512 GB NVMe where the OS and apps are installed and a 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD where I dump data and some slower games.
4 0 ReplyIt's insane how much more affordable NVMEs are. When I got my 2tb it was almost three times as much as it is now.

Though, why formating a partition when it's completely overriden in the very next command. Also you won't be able to boot it anyways, you should flash the entire disk, not a partition.
