I saw that you could download the recovery image for HP’s MIE (mobile internet experience) for netbooks and thought I’d give it a try on the Samsung today …
The download and format took less than 10 minutes which is nice a quick …
But when I went to go install it I saw this and chickened out…
I’m hoping that someone can share a way to install this on a partition rather than blowing out the whole drive.
If you can boot to a Live CD of some type and mount the USB drive, perhaps you could use the dd command to write the image to the partition? After that, if you're flashing a different OS into that partition, you'd need to reconfigure GRUB to boot the new OS.
Should be something like “dd -if /media/USB/reflash.iso -of /dev/sda2” . Double check the dd docs, because I'm not sure if you read/write from a device or a mount point.
Or, now that I think about it, I'd guess a current copy of Ghost could install an ISO file into one partition…
