I successfully dd'ed the deadmoo image to my hdd into a partition.

My hardware configuration:

asus p4p800 with audio & ethernet onboard

ati radeon 9000

maxtor 300 gb serial ata

 

all works except onboard network card :)

and i'm trying to install ati drivers.

 

i'm unable to extend the partition, i have another hard disk available for temporary storage (40 gb).

i want to use a 10 gb partition, not only 6 gb.

 

I tried a lot of methods (dd'ed again, vmware, restore from image to larger partition), but they did NOT work for me. I tried Carbon Copy Cloner, Apple Disk Utility, didn't work.

 

the results are that my partition is 10 gb but in osx it shows "total space: 6 gb", OR the system doesn't boot, it shows "Hardware configuration is not supported by Darwin/x86".

 

How can I resolve????

Thanks.
