dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1
in Windows, I tried following equivalent dd.exe commands to write gptmbr.bin to mbr sector of GPT Disk .
dd.exe if="D:\gptmbr.bin" of=\\.\PhysicalDrive3 bs=440 count=1
dd.exe if="D:\gptmbr.bin" of=\\.\PhysicalDrive3 bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc
But both gives following errors ??

Where I am doing mistake ? Does dd.exe not support bs=440 ?
Should I first convert 440 bytes gptmbr.bin to 512 bytes gptmbr.bin if possible ?
Does dsfi.exe and dsfo.exe support writing of 440 bytes gptmbr.bin to mbr sector of GPT disk ?

How Wonko [mkhidGPT001.zip]/GPTMBR.mbr is different from syslinux gptmbr.bin ?
Please help....
