Hi Fullzero,

I really love your work, I got my gtx 1070 working and mining around 31~mhs each.
My system boots up using the thumbdrive, but I would like to use my hdd instead.

My hard disk drive has Windows 10 installed on it, I'm aware that nvOC will zero it out due to "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg20290398#msg20290398.
What I would like to do is to dual boot Windows 10 together with nvOC on it.
Is there possible way to do that?

If not, is it possible to install the nvOC in hdd instead of thumbdrive?

Thanks in advance, it might be helpful to some. Smiley

Not sure whether dual boot is possible but you can install nvOC on separate HDD as well, it still works like normal.

To All Ubuntu / *nix guru outhere,

I read the 2unix script and I still don't understand why it's removing the  "Windows partition data".
I'm pretty sure the thumbdrive is mounted under m1 alias, but why do we need to zero the sda partition. That doesn't make sense to me. (Is it a preparation in case I need to copy the mounted m1 to sda?)

My aim is to dual boot Windows 10 with it.

You can do just about any multi boot if you are good with manually editing partitions / grub loader.  However; I don't recommend doing this. 

I will test not zeroing the first partition and only removing 1bash from it (after transfer) at first boot for v0019. 

Note; it is only the initial boot of v0018 that does this action.  I also don't recommend using the standard partition set when/if installing windows but that is another topic I don't want to get into.
