** (*) ''be sure of your USB/SD device name. Use the mount command or the partition manager to confirm it before executing the script. It is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong.''

** (*) ''be sure of your USB/SD device name (such as sda, sdb, etc.) and partition (such as 1, 2, etc.), yielding, for example,'' <code>/dev/sdb1</code>. ''Use the mount command or the partition manager to confirm it before executing the script.''
** The <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> arguments for the shell script were recommended, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.

** The <code>--format --reset-mbr</code> arguments for the shell script were in the example script, but may be excluded to preserve the existing disc format and data.  
1)**NOTE use /dev/sd(*) not dev/sd(*)1 in script
+
** If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is <code>/dev/sd*</code> with no partition number, instead of <code>/dev/sd*1</code> as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''
