Fun, Thanks, anyone anyone know a GUI for formatting/partitionsing a disc? I know fdisk, but any utilities with a GUI?

Hahaha, that's so bad.

Why BS=1M and I'm guessing --progress means verbosely ?

Adding --progress updates stdio with information about how far the operation has come.

BS=1M is a pretty good size for block buffer copy size.  I think dd defaults to 1 kb block sizes, which would result in 1024 more reads at a time per megabyte of disk space, whereas larger block sizes tend to strain your memory manager.

Was I horribly wrong?
Edit: I'm horribly wrong. Whatever.
I read that as "disk" which would mean "hard disk."
