There is a registry key you can delete, or run Fogprep.exe from the Fog Project installation package. A google search should point you in the right direction.

So, when i do fdisk -l on my local machine, it shows 2 partitions, so i did a dd command which starts from first cylinder and goes on till the last cylinder, in short, I am copying the whole thing ( 2 partitions) as one big Lun ( one partition).
