This is very easily done in in Linux (dd if=file.img of=/dev/disk) and DOS (there's an app called BOOTMGR which does this) but I can't figure out how in Windows. I tried a Windows dd port, but it didn't work (the file was most likely copied to the start of the partition, rather than the start of the disk). Anyone know how?
