Odd indeed.

I had zero problems at all just cloning a Windows drive using 'dd'.

That computer doesn't use UEFI though, if that makes any difference whatsoever.

maybe the partition wasn't marked as bootable

depends if you dd'd the partition or the disk entirely

The entire disk, in my case.

Or perhaps I should say drive, as it was not a disk drive. <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

The partition isn't marked as bootable in disk management

Fix that then. 👍🏻

It is active though . I can use it np

How do I do that? Disk management ?

maybe

gparted has it for sure

Fuck if I know.

Yeah.

There's some command line tool for Windows too.

But I don't remember what it's called.

not fdisk

there was another one

diskpart

👍🏻

o ya

According to the DuckDuckGo.

that's it

I'm in China so that stuff is mildly blocked

I'm trying to find out how to do it manually

'man diskpart'

oh wait no

kekek

diskpart has help in it

diskpart /?

>using windows

there is your mistake my friend

Dirty monitor.

Dirty OS.

I know

kek I know I'm not helping but... are screenshots also mildly blocked in China?

Yes

sup boys I'm traveling. 2 more hours by train and I'm already bored

Oh, I see, @kaetaa.

You cloned the second partition on Disk 1 to Disk 0, yeah?

And you figured that'd be what you needed, aye?

You also need the first partition. That's where the boot manager resides.

So both the 260 MB and the 100.00 GB partitions.

And even so, I don't know if there's some other voodoo Windows requires in order to boot.

Oh shit

I didn't clone that

Well yes... that's why I mentioned it. <:thonk:288060975775612929>

You're a smart boy

Let me clone that

😊

The order might matter.

I cloned the same two partitions with clonezilla and it just worked

that'll probably do it

👍🏻

Yeah probably, trying it now

Enjoying your activeX vulnerabilities Windownies

I'll send dick if it does

?¿

One thing that fucked me over on Windows was that those cunts INSIST on installing the boot manager on the first disk in the S-ATA hierarchy.

>activex

>One thing that fucked me over on Windows
>One

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

So basically if you have a drive on port 0, and you install Windows to port 1... congratulations, you have the boot manager and OS on separate drives.

not really unless you live in korea and need online banking

@Shrimpf Yes, one example. I don't have all fucking day to type out other things.

Its extremely vulnerable

Unless you pay me.
