Harshwardhan/All: I made a mistake in my original message. I used the following command to make linux.bin dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
So I did use the right partition in the command. I still get the same error.

You should modify this line to indicate your MBR for linux i.e. /dev/hdb1. So instead of just using the line from the site; modify it to look like: dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/linux.bin bs=512 count=1 ^^^^^^^^^^^ And it should now work. Let me know if that worked.
