You can put it on your hard disk with the dd command. Check "man dd" on
your host pc for more information. For example:

dd if=hd.img of=/dev/$HARDDISK device.

Important note:

Be sure you select the right $HARDDISK device. ;-)

Hi Alex

I have already try, dd commnad finish without errors, but the disk doesn't
contain data.

I used this command :

dd if=/.../hd.img of=/dev/sdc

where sdc is my device (hard disk)

I can not see any partition on hard disk.

When you write an image (containing an MBR) to a currently attached disk, you need to call partprobe afterwards to update the partition table.

Regards,
Alexander

BTW: no need for dd here. you can simply use cat /.../hd.img > /dev/sdc which is faster on some hardware

To make it faster you need call dd with a "correct" bs size.

...or define the blocksize dd should use.

dd if=hd.img of=/dev/$DRIVE bs=2M

IIRC cat uses 64k and dd 512 bytes by default
